✈️ Three DA42 NGs. Weekly Checkrides. Your Schedule.
Whether you’re adding a multi-engine rating to your existing certificate or earning your commercial in a twin from the start, Take Flight Aviation covers all things multi-engine.
We operate three Diamond DA42 NGs — the most capable light twin trainer on the market — and we have standing weekly appointments with designated pilot examiners. That means your checkride isn’t an afterthought — it’s built into your training schedule from day one.
We plan your training in reverse from examiner availability so there’s no waiting, no guessing, and no delays.

📅 Your Checkride Is Already on the Calendar
Most flight schools train you first and then scramble to find an examiner. We do it the other way around.
At Take Flight, we have standing weekly appointments with designated pilot examiners. We build your training schedule in reverse from your checkride date — so every flight, every lesson, and every sim session is working toward a specific finish line.
Need a different schedule? We can custom-build your training plan around your availability. Either way, you’ll always know exactly where you stand and when you’re finishing.
🛩 The DA42 NG — Built for Multi-Engine Training
All multi-engine training at Take Flight is conducted exclusively in the Diamond DA42 NG — a modern, all-composite twin with Garmin G1000 NXi glass cockpit and twin Austro AE300 jet fuel diesel engines.
With three DA42 NGs in our fleet, aircraft availability is never a bottleneck. Your training stays on schedule because the airplanes are always there when you need them.
You’re not training in a 1970s light twin with vacuum gauges. You’re flying a modern, centerline-thrust twin with the same avionics and engine management systems found in today’s corporate and airline fleet.
