Video lessons, DPE checkride briefings, and downloadable study guides — taught by a Designated Pilot Examiner who knows exactly what you’ll be tested on.
Ace Pilot Academy is led by Jeff Gerencser — a U.S. Navy veteran, professional pilot, and FAA Designated Pilot Examiner with more than three decades in aviation. As a DPE, Jeff administers the very checkrides you’re preparing for. He has trained pilots at every level, from first solo to advanced multi-engine, and built these courses backward from exactly what examiners expect you to know.
“My mission is simple: train pilots the right way, the first time — building skills, confidence, and safety habits that last a lifetime.”

I received an hour long brief from Jeff G. about certain subject matters for my upcoming MEI check ride. His information was concise and to the point on how to explain VMC factors and the order to arrange them. Taking the Multi Engine video course was very helpful as well. I highly recommend any of his courses for general knowledge and check ride preparation.

Earning your multi-engine rating means mastering concepts that are easy to read about but hard to truly understand. Ace Pilot Academy was built to close that gap. Our online multi-engine training breaks down the toughest checkride topics into short, animated video lessons you can watch anywhere, as many times as you need, before you ever step into the airplane.
Each lesson targets a subject your examiner will expect you to know cold. You will work through multi-engine V-speeds like Vmc, Vyse, and Vsse, learn how to identify the critical engine and why it matters, and build a clear understanding of zero side slip, density altitude, service ceiling, and single-engine performance and limitations. We also cover the aircraft systems that trip up so many applicants, including fuel crossfeed, pressurization, anti-ice and de-ice systems, turbochargers, combustion heaters, propeller systems, and cowl flaps.
Whether you are preparing for an initial multi-engine rating, a commercial multi-engine add-on, or simply brushing up before a checkride, our lessons give you a structured, affordable way to study. Start with the complete Multi-Engine Training Series for the best value and full checkride readiness, or pick up individual lessons when you only need to sharpen one specific topic.
Study at your own pace, reinforce each concept with lesson quizzes and downloadable PDF guides, and walk into your checkride confident and prepared.
