3. How much Flight &
Classroom Time is involved in the HFA Accelerated Course?
Most HFA ME applicants take around
eight to ten (8-10) hours of flight time and approximately eight
to ten hours (8-10) hours of classroom instruction. Again, these
numbers are based on a pilot who is current (flying regularly),
and proficient in complex aircraft.

4. What type of
Aircraft does HFA use for its Multi-Engine Programs?
Heritage Flight Academy conducts all
its training in the Beechcraft Duchess, BE 76. The Duchess
is world renowned as an excellent multi-engine training
platform. Each engine is 180hp, and has counter rotating
propellers. It also has a brand new interior, radios, GPS
and exterior paint. She's a beauty and you'll love flying
her.

5. Is weather a
factor?
Yes. The Multi-Engine Rating mandates
maneuvers that require Visual Flight Rules, (VFR). Heritage
Flight Academy requires at least five thousand-foot ceilings
with at least ten miles of visibility to ensure safe operations.

7. How do I
enroll in the Accelerated Multi-Engine Course?
Give Heritage Flight Academy a call at

to reserve a training slot. All the details regarding your
accelerated program will be covered during your initial
communications with HFA. You will be asked to place a deposit on

accommodations?

9. Renting the Twin:
After I complete my Training I would like to Rent the Twin.
Are there additional training or "check-out" procedures
involved?
Yes, you will need an additional
"check-out" to rent HFA's Twin Engine Aircraft. If you
received your Multi-Engine Rating with Heritage Flight Academy
you will need to accumulate additional time to equal not less
than 25 hours Dual Instruction in the Duchess. (So, if you
completed your Multi-Engine Rating with HFA in 10 hours you'll
need an additional 15 hours dual to rent.) You will also need to
possess at least 150 hours total time and hold at least a
Private Pilot-Multi with Instrument Rating.
