Multi-Engine Aeroplane Pilot Certificate Training

Learning Outcomes

• Apply multi-engine aeroplane performance and limitation calculations for take-off, climb, cruise, and landing.
• Demonstrate safe handling of engine failure, fire, and other in-flight emergencies using appropriate procedures.
• Analyze asymmetric thrust conditions and execute corrective actions to maintain control.
• Implement crew resource management (CRM) principles during multi-crew operations.
• Evaluate weather, navigation, and airspace requirements for multi-engine flight planning.
• Conduct pre-flight inspections and systems checks specific to multi-engine aeroplanes.

Target Audience

This course is for licensed single-engine pilots seeking to add a multi-engine rating to their licence, as well as aviation professionals aiming to advance their careers in multi-crew operations.

Prerequisites

Valid South African Private Pilot Licence (PPL) or Commercial Pilot Licence (CPL) with single-engine aeroplane rating, and a minimum of 150 hours total flight time.

Course Outline

Practicals

Overview

Learners will complete a flight simulation session focusing on multi-engine aeroplane systems management and emergency procedures. Practicals reinforce theoretical knowledge through hands-on operation of simulated multi-engine aircraft, including engine failure drills and asymmetric flight handling.

Practical Activities

• Pre-flight Inspection and Systems Check — Learner conducts a thorough pre-flight inspection of a multi-engine aeroplane, identifying key system components and performing functional checks. (1h)
• Engine Failure and Asymmetric Flight Handling — Learner practices engine failure scenarios in a flight simulator, managing asymmetric thrust, feathering, and single-engine operations. (1h)
• Emergency Procedures and Decision-Making — Learner handles simulated emergencies such as fire, system failures, and rejected takeoff, practicing crew resource management and checklists.

Summatives

Each delegate is assessed continuously throughout the course via daily exercises, scored practical assignments, and a final summative test at the end.

Practical Assignments — 30%

Practical assignments are observed and scored against a rubric during the practical sessions. Each delegate's practical mark is averaged into a single 100% score and contributes 30% to the final total.

Daily Exercises — 20%

Every training day ends with a multiple-choice exercise scored out of 100%. The scores from each daily exercise are averaged across the duration of the course to produce a Daily Average mark, which contributes 20% to the final total.

Final Test — 50%

On the last day a final summative test is written. It is a multiple-choice paper with multiple-answer questions: each question may have more than one correct option, and a single wrong selection on a question marks the entire question wrong — no partial credit. The final test is scored out of 100% and contributes 50% to the overall mark.

Final Total

Component	Out of	Weight
Practical Assignments (rubric-scored)	100%	30%
Daily Average (multiple choice)	100%	20%
Final Test (multi-answer multiple choice)	100%	50%
Final Total	—	100%

All marks are recorded on the AATICD LMS and visible to each learner under their account.

Certificate

How it works

• Certificates are auto-generated on the AATICD LMS as soon as the marks pass the 50% threshold.
• Each certificate is a branded PDF with the delegate's name, the course title, the unit standard ID, NQF level, credits, and the date of issue.
• You can download or print your certificate from your LMS dashboard at any time after issue — there's no reissue fee and no expiry date.
• If you scored under 50% you can sit the final test again at the next scheduled session at no extra cost.

Where to find it

Sign in to the LMS, open your dashboard, and your certificates appear under My Certificates. Each entry has a View / Download button and a print option.
