The theoretical part of the MEP (Multi Engine Piston) training takes place in the center of Warsaw – on the 11th floor of the modern Widok Towers skyscraper.

We conduct practical training at the Warsaw airports: Babice and Modlin. The practical part of the IR/ME (Instrument Rating / Multi Engine) training for the IR(A) instrument flight rating takes place at the Warsaw-Modlin airport, which is a controlled airspace open 24 hours a day and provides access to ILS, RNP and VOR navigation devices.

Theoretical MEP (Multi Engine Piston) training prepares you to control a multi-engine aircraft. You will gain knowledge about the specifics of the aircraft on which you will train in practice, as well as information on aerodynamics and flight rules. You will learn the most important differences in the construction and operation of single- and twin-engine aircraft. You will also learn what a critical engine is and how to react in the event of its failure.

Practical MEP (Multi Engine Piston) training includes over 16 hours of flights and exercises on a multi-engine aircraft. At UnitedSky it is Tecnam P2006t, a model that is extremely popular and appreciated by students. During the training, you will learn to fly a twin-engine aircraft and practice situations that do not occur in single-engine aircraft. You will learn how to deal with the failure of one of the engines.

ATP(L) theoretical training, including exams, may take approximately one year. Practical training for CPL, ME/IR, MCC and AUPRT qualifications can be completed in up to 12 weeks.

The CPL + MEP + ME/IR modular training includes 9 hours of theoretical lectures, 40 simulator exercises and 40 hours of flight in an airplane. If you do practice and theory at the same time, you can complete the course in 8 weeks.
