Checkride Ready - Multi Engine Instructor? | LIVE from Sun N Fun 2026
Power Hour Lessons by CFI Bootcamp
Preparing for the Multi-Engine Instructor (MEI) checkride requires more than just knowing how to fly—it demands a deep understanding of systems, instruction, and decision-making. In this episode, we break down exactly what to expect, from FOI requirements and ACS expectations to engine failure training, Vmc demonstrations, and light twin performance considerations. You’ll learn how examiners evaluate MEI applicants, how to approach instructional scenarios, and what areas most commonly challenge applicants. Whether you’re pursuing your MEI as an initial or add-on rating, this episode will...

Multi-Engine Aircraft Systems Explained | Master the Fundamentals to Engine Failure
Power Hour Lessons by CFI Bootcamp
Multi-engine aircraft introduce a level of complexity that goes far beyond single-engine flying. In this episode, we break down the core systems that define multi-engine operations, including engines, propellers, fuel systems, electrical systems, and landing gear. You’ll learn how these systems function individually, how they interact during normal operations, and—most importantly—how they behave during engine failure scenarios. This session is designed for student pilots, multi-engine applicants, and CFIs who want a deeper understanding of systems-based training and decision-making. If...

Multi-Engine Aerodynamics | Must Knows About Flying Twin-Engine Airplanes
Power Hour Lessons by CFI Bootcamp
In this episode of the CFI Bootcamp Power Hour Series, we break down the aerodynamics of twin-engine flight in a structured, instructor-ready format. Whether you're preparing for your CFI practical test or deepening your understanding of multi-engine operations, this lesson covers the concepts you must be able to teach — not just know. We walk through the performance impact of losing an engine, the physics of the critical engine, what Vmc really means and how it changes with altitude, the zero sideslip technique for maximizing single-engine performance, and how to use accelerate-stop and...

We walk through the performance impact of losing an engine, the physics of the critical engine, what Vmc really means and how it changes with altitude, the zero sideslip technique for maximizing single-engine performance, and how to use accelerate-stop and accelerate-go data for professional preflight planning. This episode is part of the ongoing CFI Bootcamp Fundamentals of Instruction Power Hour Series, designed to give flight instructor candidates a structured knowledge base grounded in FAA standards, the Airman Certification Standards, and real-world instructional technique. New episodes release regularly on Apple Podcasts, Spotify, Amazon Music, and all major audio platforms. Visit cfibootcamp.com to access the full course, lesson plans, and digital study tools.
