There’s an old adage that says “If one engine is good, two engines are better.” There are many benefits to multi-engines including faster speed, safety through redundancy, and suitability for cross-country travel. This is a story of one pilot’s journey obtaining the airplane multi-engine rating and his goal of flying the Baron Twin as much as possible over a 2 year period while logging over 200 hours. This ambitious goal brought many memorable trips and learning experiences worthy of sharing.

San Carlos Flight Center invites Commercial Pilot Dave Kramer to share these lessons learned after gaining a wealth of experience flying across the country. In this seminar, Dave will reflect on his experience flying the Baron in various conditions, highlight challenging scenarios, and describe the mission profile for flying the multi-engine aircraft. Additionally, Dave will share what motivated him to obtain his multi-engine rating and why he has chosen to fly multi-engine aircraft as his primary aircraft of choice.

If you are interested in a multi-engine rating or want to hear first hand about the experience in one, you will find this seminar insightful. For more on this topic, tune in for a follow-up seminar on Baron Systems on January 26 to learn more about multi-engines and the Baron available for rental at SCFC.
