MEP - Multi-Engine Piston Aircraft Rating
MEP rating is an essential step towards becoming an airline pilot; it is also available to hobbyists, for whom it may represent a welcome enhancement of the range of airplanes they can fly. If you prefer or need to make longer flights, twin-engine planes offer superior safety, speed, and comfort.

"My name is Lukáš Vokůrka; I am a Professional Pilot graduate from the Czech Technical University in Prague. Since my school has a flight training partnership with F AIR, I ended up choosing them. There were other options, but I picked F AIR for their convenient location, long experience, pleasant people, and modern planes. When I'd gained my ATPL, I flew with F AIR for a while as a PPL instructor.
Today, I am First Officer on ATR 42's and 72's for Czech Airlines (ČSA), the Czech flag carrier, and my job is exactly what I imagined it'd be: amazing, exciting, fun. F AIR is a big part of what made that happen for me, and I'm grateful for their solid training program."
