> > Here's a question asked by an AOPA member who contacted our aviation
> > services staff through the AOPA Pilot Information Center. Test your
> > knowledge.
> >
> > Q: I obtained my private pilot certificate with single-engine airplane
> > privileges and would now like to add the multiengine airplane rating
> > to my certificate. Which part of the FAA regulations would I need to
> > comply with?
> >
> > A: Because you have already met the basic 40-hour requirement for the
> > private pilot certificate, you would not be required to again go through
> > these same requirements for the multiengine rating. The appropriate
> > regulation to review and comply with is 14 CFR Part 61 Section 61.63(c),
> > ( http://www.aopa.org/members/files/fars/far-61.html#14:2.0.1.1.2.2.1.2 ).
> > The regulation requires the applicant to obtain flight training from an
> > authorized instructor to become proficient for the FAA checkride. Although
> > there aren't any specific hour requirements, Section 61.39(a)(6)(i) says
> > that applicants must have received training within 60 days of the
>practical
> > test. A knowledge test is not required.
