This is instructional authority in a reduced-performance environment. As an MEI, you are teaching someone to stay calm when an engine fails. At D&J, we emphasize that your signature on a multi-engine applicant’s logbook means you trust them to handle a critical emergency correctly.
Airline eligibility isn’t a single event, it’s a disciplined sequence of certifications that build upon one another.
Aerodynamic Mastery
You must explain Vmc factors and engine-out performance planning while maintaining precise directional control.
Composure
MEI training refines your ability to teach high-workload procedures with absolute professional poise.
Scenario Training
We drill you on simulating and analyzing engine failures so you can catch student errors before they become safety issues.
For the Multi-Engine Instructor (MEI) rating, most instructors spend $12,265+ for 15 hours of aircraft time, 60 hours with a flight instructor, written exams, and the examiner fee.
