Multi-Engine Aeroplane Centreline Thrust (MEAC)


Overview

Multi-Engine Centreline Thrust refers to twin-engine aircraft which have their engines mounted along the fuselage centre-line, e.g., the Cessna C337 “Skymaster.”

Learning to fly these aircraft differs significantly from regular twins and therefore requires a short but separate theory course.

Our course covers all aspects of Centreline Thrust theory and offers practical advice to enhance your flying training.
