Multi-Engine Discovery Flight Gift Card
Twin time, bought for somebody who will know what it is
Three denominations on the Piper Seminole: $499 for sixty minutes, $699 for ninety, $899 for two hours. This is the least beginner-friendly card on the store and that is deliberate.
| Denominations | $499 · $699 · $899 |
| What each one covers | The 60, 90 and 120-minute multi-engine bookings |
| Aircraft | Piper Seminole — twin engine, counter-rotating propellers, retractable gear |
| Who flies | The recipient, from the left seat |
| What is logged | Dual instruction received, in their name |
| Hourly rate | None published. Bought as a rating instead, at $5,100 for the add-on. |
| Published weight limit | 600 lb |
Who to buy this for
A pilot. Somebody who already holds a certificate, or somebody on a professional track deciding when to spend the $5,100 on the multi-engine add-on. For them this is a genuinely rare and useful present, because twin time is expensive and nobody buys it for themselves casually.
Bought for somebody with no light-aircraft experience at all, this card is close to wasted. The systems workload swamps the flying, and the lesson they should be having is the one in a single at $229.
What the flight covers and what it does not
A departure, cruise, turns and a properly configured arrival in a twin whose propellers turn opposite ways and whose gear folds away. Not engine-out handling — that belongs inside a rating course with a syllabus and a checkride at the end, and any school offering it as a taster is doing something we will not.
This is a card for somebody who already has a logbook.
Behind the card
- Six airframes sit on this ramp and the school owns all six outright. Nothing is brokered in, nothing is on leaseback, and the shop that services them is ours.
- Eleven on the instructing roster. All of them fly on a commercial certificate or an ATP, all of them teach on a CFI, and none of them instruct on an expired medical.
- Procedure work happens in the Redbird MCX rather than in an airplane, because it is cheaper and because it can be stopped and rewound. $189 a session standalone.
- We counted the weather rather than guessing at it: 355 days here cleared 3,000 ft and 5 sm in the year to 1 August 2026, from NOAA ASOS records, and the method is published with its limitations.
- Published pricing, all of it, with no spreads. A program costs one number and that number is on its page.
