One option to consider with regards to preparation is the online Multi Engine Ground School at PilotProficient.com. The course is video-based, fun, and you pay what you want after taking the course.

Hi guys, I have some aviation-themed iPad cases for sale; they fit the iPad 2/3/4 (unfortunately, they will not fit iPad Air or Mini), and are printed with the Salt Lake City IFR Low Altitude Enroute chart. Magnetic closure and video stand. $24.95 each, and you can find them here...

I also pipe in some soothing Enya music through each applicant's headset :)

It is my opinion that an applicant can be both fully prepared for a check ride and to operate in the real world, but also be nervous before the practical test. If I can help minimize the nerves, I'll try to do so.

Very cool video and very thorough! I offer an online, video-based Multi Engine Ground School at www.PilotProficient.com; the course is not specific to any aircraft type, and covers all of the major ground knowledge areas to prep for the Multi Engine rating, using multimedia presentations and...

As a separate issue from technical proficiency and knowledge, which should be in place prior to the check ride, I think it's wise to give the applicant every advantage to pass the practical test, especially when it comes to bypassing nonessential stress not related to performing the required...

Sure enough! I certainly wouldn't call it a necessity, but in my experience it is easier to keep the applicant at ease and help prevent nervous "slips" if they have at least met the person performing their evaluation prior to the day of. In any case, seems unlikely to hurt!

I concur with previous posters in that 141 vs. 61 for the Multi Engine won't make a big difference for you, check-ride wise, but it is nice to get to know the examiner before the practical test, whether the examiner is internal or external to the school (141/61). Many DPEs don't mind spending...

I would recommend the same as above; build some time, experience some new airports, routes, and weather, and become very proficient with the airplane you plan to use for the instrument rating, if possible. You don't necessarily have to complete the whole 50 hours before beginning the IFR, but...

Randall, Thank you for taking the time to take a look, and to reply! Your points are well taken; I'm in the process now of adding a full course segment to the free preview on the site, and additional, more specific teaser video(s) on the home page is a great idea. The course lessons are...

BigBadLou, Yes, the multi engine ground school is the first offering, and we do plan to jump in with more courses soon, but will look to fill some areas not already being as well-served (for example: Seaplane, Tailwheel, specific aircraft familiarization). The Instrument, Commercial, etc...

N3368K, that sounds like a bargain, I wish the prices were that way today! An endorsement from an authorized instructor certifying that the applicant has shown proficiency in the required knowledge areas is required for an added aircraft class rating (like the Multi Engine); the ground school is...

Hi guys, Thank you for the responses! As it happens, we did previously offer the course for free for over 50 beta testers to qualify the content and to look for any errors, omissions or additional needed content, etc. As for POA members, I'm happy to offer a discount (if anyone is...

Hi guys, I'm a new member, and I have enjoyed reading the forum so far (actually have spent much more time here than I originally planned...it is addictive). I thought I would post a note about my online Ground School site in case anyone wanted to check it out, you can find it at...
