Multi-engine planes have more power, are bigger, and can carry more weight, including both passengers and cargo. A multi-engine rating can be helpful if you want to move from solo day trips in a single-engine plane to larger dual-engine planes with more payload capacity or from being a private pilot for fun to a commercial pilot for money.
More speed means more power. Multiengine planes fly much faster than single-engine planes, saving time for private pilots who take themselves or their clients to business meetings or take their families and friends on vacation. The cost of gas might be a little higher, but the trip will be faster with fewer (or no) stops along the way. If the trip is across the country, you may be able to save on fuel costs because multi-engine aircraft can cruise at higher altitudes, which uses less fuel.
Many benefits include the following for multi-engine pilots:
Overall, learning to fly with several engines has many benefits, such as improved safety, expanded range and cargo capability, chances for job progression, improved flight abilities, more diversified flying experience, and better marketability in the aviation sector.
