MEP-any prep you can recommend?

[catherine]

I am about to start my multi-engine rating at Wycombe Air Park and would like to do some preparation before I commence in order to try to minimise the hours I have to pay for!! I have recently invested in a Trevor Thom book to swat up on but wondered if anyone could recommend any other preparation that may help?

Thank you!

If you don't already have any - I would definately do some hours in a single engine complex (preferably of the same manufacturer).

If you have complex hours - then just read the book (or watch the video - but note that the videos tend to be FAA orientated and not ALL the information agrees with CAA/JAA principles and ideals).

Enjoy the course - GREAT fun (even just taxiing the beast).

Fancy giving us a blow-by-blow account of the lessons and test?? Lets all learn from it!!

Good luck!!

I found the R.D. Campbell book very good when i did mine, easy to digest too.

I agree with the others if no complex time get a few hours in if you can, learn to get ahead of the aircraft as things happen a little quicker, not a lot quicker, but enough to upset your train of thought because there's 2 of everything to consider.

Good look with the MEP.

Just make sure you know your checklist, calm and have a good leg ready (cheeky) for the assymetric stuff!!!

Thanks everyone - will let you know how it all goes.

Shall try to get some complex hours in (need to get a few more before I can start the training) and will get reading!!

If anyone else has kept a diary of their MEP training please feel free to post it or PM me, will be interested to here other people's experiences!

Catherine,

Which ME aircraft are you flying? Is the rating for PPL or CPL?

What do you actually need to know?
