Notes

There is no Transport Canada written exam for this rating. There is also no required experience. You only need a the appropriate licence. Technically you could get a multi-engine rating with a recreational pilot licence provided that the multi-engine aircraft only had 4 seats, and was not considered a high performance aircraft. However, you might find it difficult to find a 4 seat multi engine aircraft with a Vne or lest than 250 KIAS.

High preformance aircraft have a Vne of 250+ KIAS and a Vso of 80+ KIAS.

Who can teach you? You do not need a CFI to teach you how to fly a multi engine aeroplane. The teacher needs only a CPL, or an ATPL, and 50 hours of multi-engine experience with a minimum on 10 hours on the airplane used for training. Bet you didn’t know that!
