Additionally, Coastal Pacific Aviation will present you with a Certificate of Qualification—Multi-engine Class Rating, marking your achievement and recognizing your advanced skills in multi-engine aircraft operation.
Privileges of a Multi-engine Class Rating:

Important Considerations for the estimated costs of Pilot Training
Indeed, predicting training costs for pilot training can be challenging due to variations in training frequency and the diverse skill levels of students in both flight training and ground preparation. The most significant cost variable is related to students' flying skill levels, as they must meet the stringent flying standards set by Transport Canada for the Multi-engine Class Rating, as detailed in the Multi-engine Class Rating Flight Test Guide.
Understanding and acknowledging these variations and skill-level differences are essential when planning for pilot training.
