What Is Multi-Engine Time Building?

Multi-engine time building is when a pilot logs flight hours in an aircraft with more than one engine. It’s typically part of the process for pilots who:

• Are working toward a Multi-Engine Rating

• Need to meet airline or commercial hour requirements

• Want to boost their resume for regional or major airline hiring

Why It’s Important

Airlines and commercial employers often require a certain amount of multi-engine flight time. That's because:

• Multi-engine aircraft fly differently than single-engine ones, especially in emergencies.

• You learn advanced systems (like retractable gear, complex fuel management, etc.)

• It shows you're comfortable with higher-performance aircraft.

What It Typically Involves

Here’s what students or time-builders usually do:

Flying with an Instructor (Initial Training)

• If you don’t already have a Multi-Engine Rating, you'll first train with a CFI-ME (Certified Flight Instructor – Multi-Engine).

• You'll practice:

  • Engine-out procedures (single-engine operation)

  • Takeoffs and landings

  • Flight maneuvers

  • System management

Time Building Flights (Post-Rating)

• Once rated, you’ll often rent the aircraft solo or with another rated pilot.

• Flights may include:

  • Cross-country flights

  • Night time

  • Instrument flying (if applicable)

  • Simulated engine failures

Who Usually Does It?

• Aspiring commercial pilots

• Future flight instructors wanting to offer multi-engine training

• Pilots transitioning into corporate or charter aviation

• Those preparing for airline applications
