This has been an itch I've wanted to scratch for a long time. I have searched the Central Florida airports for a multi-engine aircraft to rent and after many unanswered calls and emails I spoke with D&J Aviation in Apopka. They were more than happy to oblige, and thankfully I now have a multi-engine aircraft to fly. But before I can celebrate, I have to put my game face on and perform well on this checkout flight. It's been years since I've flown a light twin but it was a breath of fresh air to get behind the yoke of one again!
Enjoy the flight!

I've been watching your videos since the start of my training about 6-7 months ago. I literelly binge watch your videos all throughout the week. Just wanted to say thank you for the videos. I love your humor and your knowledge. One day I hope to meet you. Hopefully in a few months I'll be ready for that checkride.

My plane did its annual at DnJ and they signed me off to fly my plane so the insurance was satisfied. I think it would be awesome to see you get signed off to teach multi engine in the future. So glad to see some fresh content from a whole different platform.

Flying an A36 Bonanza, 214Hrs in the past 8 months so I’m used to positive rate, gear up…. Going through my MEL in a Duchess B76 last week and instructor said the same thing ! Man was I pissed that I missed the gear up…. I was focused on him getting ready to fail one of the engines ! In the end….. the gear wouldn’t retract. Grrr. So, back to land and have to wait until its fixed.

super cool vide, as always. Im a student pilot with all boxes checked except the check ride - which im prepping for now - with plans to continue on to complex, multi and commercial... how is it going from ASEL to AMEL? is it a whole new animal or just a slight variation from the norm?
