Organizing the Training
Organizing the way you conduct your multi-engine instruction will help your students to master the required knowledge and skill more efficiently. Think of the training as having four parts:
Introduction
This instructor guide is intended primarily for instructors providing training for a multi-engine class rating, but can also be used as a reference by students.
Ex. 4 — Take-Off, Circuit and Landing
Objectives
To teach how to take off, fly the circuit and land safely in a predetermined touchdown zone under existing traffic, runway and weather conditions.
Motivation
As well as having more complex systems, multi-engine aeroplanes tend to operate at higher airspeeds and heavier weights. These factors impose greater demands upon a pilot's ability to control the aeroplane and adapt quickly to changing conditions.
Essential Background Knowledge
Review existing runway conditions and requirements:
Ex. 11B - One Engine Inoperative Arrival, Approach and Landing
Objectives
To teach the student to:
- fly a circuit and approach with one engine inoperative
- land in a predetermined touchdown zone
Motivation
Should an engine fail, a pilot must be able to fly an arrival procedure and plan a precise approach to a successful landing. Failure to do so could result in an overshoot on one engine. Under certain loading, weather, terrain and aeroplane conditions, an overshoot with one engine inoperative may be difficult or impossible.
Pilot Training Record - Multi-Engine
Proper records are essential to keep track of the student's progress and to ensure continuity of training. The sample form given here has been designed to conform to the existing flight test report form so that it may be used with both the flight test guide and this instructor guide. If it is helpful, use it. If it is not, ignore it, and continue to use whatever record keeping you have used in the past.

Ex. 7 - Manoeuvring at Reduced Airspeed
Objectives
To teach how to maintain safe flight control in all configurations while manoeuvring at speeds in the approach speed range.
Motivation
During take-off, approach and landing, the student will have to manoeuvre the aeroplane in an approach speed range. The ability to control the aeroplane safely throughout this speed range is critical. Approach airspeeds may be necessary for circuit spacing, during a circling approach, while overshooting, or may be encountered if the pilot is distracted.
