Are you asking about a "Multi-engine Land" rating? Or a "Minimum Equipment List"?
No multi-engine rating needed. It's a single engine airplane. The company may want you to have one though.
If you are asking about a Minimum Equipment List. No aircraft is required to have an MEL. However, if something breaks, and you don't have an MEL, the plane is grounded. The MEL allows us to continue with a flight, even with equipment inop, in specific circumstances.
Planesense aircraft do have minimum equipment lists (MEL)

From the website:

Crews must live within 100 miles of PSM, PDK or MCO and must hold a current and valid FAA Commercial or ATP pilot license with single and multiengine land ratings. Our First Officers minimums are 1000 hours total flight time/fixed wing.

Are there any current Guard guys there? Is plane sense pretty military friendly? also, any clue how they view helicopter time towards TT? Live in MA and have always been a fan of plane sense, like their model and the pc-12.
Thanks!
Thanks!

There hasn't been much going on with the PlaneSense thread lately, so maybe nobody cares. I just finished ground school with PlaneSense. It has been a very good experience so far. The approach to training is very realistic, they expect you to know what you NEED to know, not all the BS numbers and schematics that you can't see or use as a pilot. Their training facility is one of the best I have ever been a part of. The technology is amazing, the instructors fly the line, and they really take care of you. They provide the class a van while in training, hotels are single occupancy, and they provided meals for us at the training center a few times per week. We have one group that is in the simulator now, followed by the other 2 groups in one week intervals. Sims are now at FlightSafety, Dallas. My class was a mixed group of people from young CFI's, a few with regional experience, retired military, and a retired United CA. I will be happy to answer any questions that I can, so feel free to PM.
