Additional Class Rating Syllabus
Your Path to Becoming a Multi-Engine Pilot
Purpose
Congratulations! Your decision to add a Multi-Engine rating to you Pilot Certificate will take your
flying to a challenging and exciting new level you will find both rewarding and fun.
The curriculum in this syllabus is designed to be documented in the Course Tracking Application
(CTA) of the Cessna Flight Training System. Each ground element of the Cleared for Multi-
Engines course is presented through online home-study lessons that are integrated with
structured, individual training scenarios for the flight portion.
With this syllabus in hand, you will know the objective of every flight scenario and where it fits
into the overall program. You'll also see how each ground lesson and scenario are building
blocks that work with and build upon the others to move you toward your goal of becoming a
safe and proficient multi-engine pilot.
The Cleared for Multi-Engines syllabus is divided into two stages and five “phases”, each
containing multiple knowledge lessons and flight scenarios. Progress checks in Cleared for
Multi-Engines are located in phases at key points in the course including those marking the end
of a stage.
Your Cleared for Multi-Engines syllabus and accompanying curriculum will provide you with the
knowledge, procedures, experience, skills, and risk management tools required by 14 CFR 141
regulations and the standards for a Commercial Pilot airplane Multi-Engine Land (AMEL)
additional class rating practical test.
Although this course is designed to conform to the requirements for the commercial pilot
certificate, it can be adapted to training for the private pilot certificate level by applying the
Private Pilot standards. No FAA knowledge test is required for an additional class rating, but the
course does utilize periodic knowledge evaluations to assess your knowledge of multi-engine
airplanes, systems, and procedures in preparation for the FAA practical test. Your knowledge
will be evaluated during the oral and flight portion of the practical test.
You will use this syllabus as your day-to-day guide for training since it provides all the details for
applying the curriculum elements. You will also find useful information regarding the use and
application of the FAA Industry Training Standards (FITS) concepts.
Cleared for Multi-Engines may also be used with a 14 CFR part 61 pilot training curriculum
when adjusted for the part 61 requirements.

STEPS FOR BECOMING A MULTI-ENGINE PILOT

Earning a multi-engine rating is an important step in your flying career. Multi-Engine aircraft offer
new challenges and opportunities that will be important for the rest of your individual or
commercial flying. Your Cessna Pilot Center will explain in detail the course enrollment and
completion requirements shown below:
• Hold at least a private pilot certificate with airplane single engine land rating.
• Hold a current third class medical certificate.
• Complete the required flight training for the course (see Appendix A).
• Pass the FAA practical test or approved 141 End-Of-Course test.

COURSE STRUCTURE
STAGES
The course is divided into two stages consisting of 5 phases:

Stage 1
Essential Multi-Engine Skills

PHASE 1 PHASE 2 PHASE 3

Welcome to the Mastering Single-Engine Multi-Engine IFR
Multi-Engine Airplane Operations Operations

Stage 2
Cross-Country Flying and the
Practical Test

PHASE 4 PHASE 5
Multi-Engine Cross- Preparing for Your
Country Flying Practical Test

Ver. 1.00 ii
PHASE SEQUENCE
The five phases are:
• 1. WELCOME TO THE MULTI-ENGINE AIRPLANE – In this phase, you will gain an
understanding of the aerodynamics, performance and special considerations involved
with multiengine airplanes. You will start by learning to taxi an airplane where the thrust
is not attached to the airplane centerline.
• 2. MASTERING SINGLE-ENGINE OPERATIONS – In this Phase you will learn to
manage engine failures under various phases of flight and learn the very important
balance between performance and control of a multi-engine aircraft experiencing and
engine failure.
• 3. MULTI-ENGINE IFR OPERATIONS – This phase addresses unique considerations of
multi-engine instrument flight including single-engine instrument approaches and
performance planning.
• 4. MULTI-ENGINE CROSS-COUNTRY FLYING – You will build skills and experience in
flight planning, navigation, and decision making.
• 5. PREPARING FOR YOUR PRACTICAL TEST – Completes the course of training with
review and preparation for the FAA Practical Test or 141 End-of-Course exam as
appropriate.
SCENARIOS
There are multiple flight scenarios within each phase. The completion standards for the scenario
tasks in each phase are found in that phase’s Phase Proficiency Checklist.

Once all items on the phase proficiency checklist are completed to the level of performance
required for that phase, you can then move on to the next phase of training.

You are not required to complete every flight scenario within a phase, but it is highly
recommended that you do so, as the scenarios progress in complexity to give you maximum
efficiency in your training. Progress Checks are required scenarios.

PROGRESS CHECKS
There are three Progress Checks in the Cleared for Multi-Engines syllabus. The progress
checks are found:
• Phase 2, Flight Scenario 2
• Phase 3, Flight Scenario 3
• Phase 5, Flight Scenario 1

IMPORTANT: The syllabus does not address your local Cessna Pilot Center’s safety practices
and procedures; review these key items before or after the first flight with your instructor.

PHASES
There are 5 phases of training. Each phase has
• Required Web-based Knowledge Instruction (except Phase 5)
• Required Expanded Briefings
• Suggested Flight Scenarios
• Required Phase Ground Training Checklists
• Required Phase Proficiency Checklists

iii Ver. 1.00

Web-based Knowledge Instruction
• Forms the customer’s knowledge foundation to be used for the flight scenarios
• Is directly correlated to the phase
• Is to be completed before the corresponding phase can be considered complete

Flight Scenarios
• Are placed in a suggested order of completion
• Can be flown
o Once
o More than once
o Not at all
• Can be customized to for your local training environment
• Can be completed out of phase or stage if approved by the Chief or Assistant Chief
Instructor

Phase Ground Training Checklists

• Can be prepared for through study of the web-based curriculum and course library
materials
o Including FAA publications such as the Pilot’s Handbook of Aeronautical
Knowledge and Airplane Flying Handbook
o Recorded as ‘Instruction Given’, ‘Describe’ or ‘Explain’
ƒ ‘Instruction Given’ indicates that your instructor briefed you on the subject
ƒ ‘Describe’ indicates that you are able to describe the physical characteristics
of the maneuver or knowledge area
ƒ ‘Explain’ indicates that you are able to describe the task or knowledge area
and understand the underlying concepts, principles and procedures
o Must be demonstrated to the ‘Explain’ level to complete the phase

Phase Proficiency Checklists

• Contain tasks that are to be completed in order to the ‘Perform’ level in order to
complete the phase
• Contain single-pilot resource management that is to be completed to the
‘Manage/Decide’ level
o Grading criteria is discussed in detail later in this document
• Contain completion standards for the phase

PROGRESSING THROUGH THE SYLLABUS

A phase is considered complete when all the tasks are completed to the ‘Perform’ or
‘Manage/Decide’ level as appropriate for the completions standards given on the Phase
Proficiency Checklist.

It is recommended that the order of the suggested scenarios be followed.

• However, with the approval of your Chief or Assistant Chief Instructor you can complete
scenarios that are out of the current phase
• This flexibility allows greater efficiency in course of flight training

You do not need to complete all scenarios in a phase in order to complete that particular phase.
The scenarios are simply suggested flights to get you to the ‘Perform’ and ‘Manage/Decide’
level for the tasks and standards for that phase.

Ver. 1.00 iv
It is more common to repeat the scenarios in order to obtain the desired level of proficiency and
safety than to skip them.

If you are able meet all of the phase standards and skip a scenario, you and your instructor
must make sure that you meet the hourly training requirements if they are applicable to your
approved training course. It is possible that you could finish up the course and have to make up
time at the end.

FAA INDUSTRY TRAINING STANDARDS (FITS)

This flight training syllabus uses the concepts developed under the FAA Industry Training
Standards (FITS) program. FITS incorporates three tenets
• Scenario-based training (SBT)
• Single-pilot resource management (SRM)
• Learner-centered grading (LCG)

v Ver. 1.00
Scenario-Based Training (SBT) uses real-world scenarios as the foundation of training. Flight
maneuvers are still a vital part of flight training, but the use of real-world scenarios help to
develop a pilot’s decision making skills. The training presents situations and circumstances that
pilots face every day as learning experiences.

Single-Pilot Resource Management (SRM) includes the concepts of aeronautical decision

making (ADM), risk management (RM), task management (TM), automation management (AM),
controlled flight into terrain (CFIT) awareness, and situational awareness (SA). SRM training
helps the pilot to accurately assess and manage risk, thereby making logical and timely
decisions.

Learner-Centered Grading (LCG) includes two parts: learner self assessment and a detailed
debrief by the instructor. The purpose of the self assessment is to stimulate growth in the
learner’s thought processes and, in turn, behaviors. The self assessment is followed by an in-
depth discussion between the instructor and the customer that compares the instructor’s
assessment to the customer’s self assessment.

SCENARIO-BASED TRAINING

The scenario-based approach to training pilots emphasizes the development of critical thinking
and flight management skills, rather than focusing solely on traditional maneuver-based skills.
The goal of this training philosophy is the accelerated acquisition of higher-level decision
making skills. Such skills are necessary to prevent pilot-induced accidents.

Scenario-based training goals include the development of

• Critical thinking skills
• Aeronautical decision making skills
• Situational awareness
• Pattern recognition (emergency procedures) and judgment skills
• Automation competence
• Planning and execution skills
• Procedural knowledge
• Psychomotor (hand-eye coordination) skills
• Risk management skills
• Task management skills
• Automation management skills
• Controlled flight into terrain (CFIT) awareness

For scenario-based training to be effective there must be a purpose for the flight and
consequences if the flight is not completed as planned.

It is vital that you, the pilot in training, and the instructor communicate the following information
well in advance of every training flight:
• Purpose of the flight
• Pressures to complete the flight (real or simulated)
• Risks/hazards associated with the scenario (real or simulated)
• Scenario destination(s)
• Desired outcomes
• Possible in-flight scenario changes or deviations (during later stages of the program)

Ver. 1.00 vi
With the guidance of your instructor, you should plan and fly the scenario as realistic as
possible. This means that you will know where you are going and what will transpire during the
flight. While the actual flight may deviate from the original plan, this method allows you to be
placed in a realistic scenario.

SCENARIO PLANNING
Prior to the flight, you will be briefed on the scenario to be planned. You will plan the scenario;
your instructor will help you the first few times. The flight scenario should include
• Simulated real-world reason to go flying
• Route
o Destination(s)
o Weather
o NOTAMs
• Pressures to complete the flight (real or simulated)
• Risks associated with the scenario (real or simulated)
• Possible deviations

Reality is the ultimate learning situation, and scenario-based training attempts to get as close as
possible to this ideal. The more realistic the training scenario, the better we learn
• Core safety habits, and
• Decision-making skills that can be applied in the real-world

SINGLE-PILOT RESOURCE MANAGEMENT (SRM)

Single-pilot resource management is defined as the art and science of managing all the
resources (both onboard the aircraft and from outside sources) available to a pilot flying in a
single-pilot operation (prior to and during flight) to ensure that the successful outcome of the
flight is never in doubt.

SRM includes the concepts of

• Task management (TM)
• Automation management (AM)
• Risk management (RM)
• Aeronautical decision making (ADM)
• Situational awareness (SA)
• Controlled flight into terrain (CFIT) awareness

SRM training helps a pilot maintain situational awareness by

• Managing the technology in the aircraft as well as aircraft control and navigation tasks
• Enabling the pilot to accurately assess and manage risk while making accurate and
timely decisions
• Helping pilots learn how to gather information, analyze it and make decisions

In most flight scenarios, there is no one correct answer. Pilots are expected to analyze each
situation in light of their
• Experience level
• Personal minimums
• Current physical and mental condition
• Ability to make their own decisions as best as possible

vii Ver. 1.00

Below are standards for each training concept of SRM:

Performance Standards
The training task is: You will:

Task management (TM) Prioritize and select the most appropriate tasks (or
series of tasks) to ensure successful completion of
the training scenario.

Automation management (AM) Program and utilize the most appropriate and useful
modes of cockpit automation to ensure successful
completion of the training scenario.

Risk management (RM) Utilize risk management tools to assess and mitigate
risk associated with the planned flight both during the
preflight planning and in flight.

Aeronautical decision-making (ADM) Consistently make informed decisions in a timely

manner based on the task at hand and a thorough
knowledge and use of all available resources.

Situational Awareness (SA) Be aware of all factors such as traffic, weather, fuel
state, aircraft mechanical condition, and pilot fatigue
level that may have an impact on the successful
completion of the training scenario.

Controlled Flight Into Terrain (CFIT) Understand, describe, and apply techniques to avoid
Awareness CFIT during inadvertent encounters with IMC during
VFR flight, periods of reduced visibility, or at night.

LEARNER-CENTERED GRADING

Learner-centered grading includes two parts

• Learner self-assessment
• A detailed debrief by the instructor

The purpose of the self-assessment is to stimulate growth in the learner’s thought processes
and, in turn, behaviors. The self-assessment is followed by an in-depth discussion between you
and your flight instructor that compares your self-assessment to the instructor’s assessment.

Pre- and postflight briefings are essential for setting goals. During events and tasks that require
high levels of attention, there may be little time for learning as the bulk of your cognitive
resources are given to performing the actual task.

Ver. 1.00 viii

INDEPENDENTLY GRADING THE SCENARIO
After the scenario is complete, you and your instructor should independently grade your
performance for maneuvers and single-pilot resource management (SRM). Note that any grade
that would not apply to the task has been grayed out in this syllabus.

It is very important that enough time is allowed. Simply assigning grades and signing logbooks
within a limited period of time will not work with this grading system.

After independently evaluating the actual scenario outcomes compared to the desired outcomes
• You and your instructor come together to compare and discuss your individual
evaluations during the postflight discussion

You and your instructor may disagree on the evaluations.

• This should be used as an opportunity to discuss the scenario further
• The instructor has the final authority in assigning the final grade for the desired
outcomes

MANEUVER (TASK) GRADES

• Describe – At the completion of the ground training session, the pilot in training will be
able to describe the physical characteristics of the task at a rote level.
• Explain – At the completion of the ground training session, the pilot in training will be able
to describe the task and display an understanding of the underlying concepts, principles,
and procedures.
• Practice – At the completion of the scenario, the pilot in training will be able to plan and
execute the scenario. Coaching, instruction, and/or assistance from the instructor will
correct deviations and errors identified by the instructor.
• Perform – At the completion of the scenario, the pilot in training will be able to perform the
activity without assistance from the instructor. Errors and deviations will be identified and
corrected by the customer in an expeditious manner. At no time will the successful
completion of the activity be in doubt. (‘Perform’ will be used to signify that the pilot is
satisfactorily demonstrating proficiency in traditional piloting and systems operation
skills.)
• Not Observed – Any event not accomplished or required in the scenario.

Example:
• Once the pilot in training can explain the effect of crosswind and speed reduction on
rudder effectiveness, they have achieved a level of learning that will allow for
meaningful “Practice.”
• The “Perform” level is met when the completion standards for the particular scenario
or phase are met.

ix Ver. 1.00
SINGLE-PILOT RESOURCE MANAGEMENT (SRM) GRADES
• Explain – At the completion of the ground training session, the pilot in training can verbally
identify the risks inherent in the flight scenario.
• Practice – The pilot in training can identify, describe, and understand the risks inherent in
the scenario. The customer may need to be prompted to identify risks and make
decisions.
• Manage/Decide - The pilot in training can correctly gather the most important data
available both within and outside the cockpit, identify possible courses of action,
evaluate the risk inherent in each course of action, and make the appropriate decision.
Instructor intervention is not required for the safe completion of the flight.
• Not Observed – Any event not accomplished or required in the scenario.

Example:
• A pilot who is becoming proficient at aeronautical decision making (ADM) and
risk management (RM) would be graded first at the “Practice” level.
• The “Manage/Decide” level is met once a pilot makes decisions on their own, for
instance, the decision to go-around without being prompted.

EVERYDAY USE OF FITS CONCEPTS

The PAVE Checklist

Use the PAVE Checklist as an easy way to implement the FITS concepts.

The PAVE checklist is

• A simple way to remember and examine the risk factors before you fly, and
• Can also help you manage the specific risks associated with taking off and landing

The PAVE checklist puts risk factors into four categories:

Pilot
Aircraft
enVironment
External pressures

The pilot. Are you fatigued? When was the last time you were flying in the weather conditions
that you will encounter? What are your personal minimums?
The aircraft. Are you familiar with the aircraft? Its avionics? Is it airworthy? What is the density
altitude? How does that affect your climb rate? What is your maximum crosswind component?
The environment. Are the temperature and dew point close? Are you familiar with the area and
its topography? Are there any NOTAMs?
External pressures. Are others influencing the flight? Do you have people waiting for you at the
airport?

Ver. 1.00 x
KNOWLEDGE CONTENT

WEB-BASED KNOWLEDGE INSTRUCTION

The web-based knowledge instruction should be completed before beginning the flight
scenarios in each corresponding phase; you can work ahead as far in the course as you like at
your discretion. However, the course is designed so that the web-based knowledge instruction
corresponds to the flight scenarios within a phase.
If you have an extended time lapse between studying the web-based knowledge instruction and
flying the companion scenario, you will find it very helpful to take some time to review your last
knowledge sessions just before you fly the associated scenario.
You complete the web-based knowledge instruction satisfactorily by answering all the questions
correctly. Your instructor will
• Review your results before you fly
• Answer any questions you may have
EXPANDED BRIEFINGS
Before the following events in your flight training, you will receive expanded one-on-one briefing
scheduled by your instructor. They will take place prior to the following points in this curriculum:
• Phase 1 Scenario 1 (Multi-Engine Operations)
• Phase 2 Scenario 1 (Single-Engine Operations)
• Phase 3 Scenario 1 (Multi-Engine Instrument Operations)
• Phase 4 Scenario 1 (Multi-Engine Cross-Country Operations)
• Phase 5 Final Progress Check (Practical Test)
During an expanded briefing, your instructor will ask you questions about your airplane and the
local flight environment as well as questions specific to this phase of training.
REQUIRED AERONAUTICAL KNOWLEDGE AREAS
The Federal Aviation Regulations, 14 CFR Part 141, lists aeronautical knowledge areas that
must be included in the ground training for a Commercial Pilot Additional Multiengine Class Rating
Course. All required areas are covered in this course, but they are distributed throughout the

FLIGHT SCENARIOS
PREFLIGHT BRIEFING
Before each flight scenario you and your instructor will review the scenario objectives to make
sure you both understand what you will be doing during the lesson.
• Use this opportunity to ask any questions.
• Make sure you understand what is expected of you
DUAL FLIGHTS
All scenarios in this syllabus are dual flights performed with your instructor. As such, scenarios
will usually begin with a review of tasks from previous flights, and then new tasks will be
introduced. This will help you to see the relationships between what you have previously
learned and the new tasks to be performed on the flight.
When indicated (IR) means “instrument reference,” or reference to the flight display or
instruments only.
• You will need a view-limiting device such as a hood or view-restricting glasses for a
scenario having (IR) associated with any task
POSTFLIGHT DISCUSSION AND EVALUATION
After each flight, you and your instructor will
• Review your flight and evaluate your performance independently
• Compare and discuss your self-evaluation with his or her evaluation

Your instructor will make recommendations to help you in your learning. Make sure you ask
questions about any area that is not clear.

You will then complete your flight training record based on the completion standards for the
phase. Any tasks requiring additional practice to meet the phase completion standards will be
carried over to the next flight scenario.

You may expect at least one-half hour for preflight and postflight briefings for each scenario.

PROGRESS CHECKS
Progress checks are designed to ensure that you progress at the appropriate level of proficiency
