With a lot of time to spare from quarantine (ok, actually the only difference is I can't actually train with an instructor right now or go fly. I can still work and all and almost always am home anyways), got a bit bored doing the same ole routine, so I decided to go find a decent model of a Piper Seminole online for my flight sim, read through the POH (basically the manual), as well as read through need-to-knows about multi-engine aircraft from the text.

I know.. I've technically flown multiengine stuff in the sim already, but I've always flown them as if they just had one powerplant (flying a twin is no different than a single until you lose an engine!). So... spent several flights going up, killing an engine, then attempting to restart, either doing so successfully or continuing flight with a single engine. However comfortable I may be in the real thing... I'll have to wait and see.

Here's the Piper Seminole going over ... somewhere West of LA towards Santa Barbara.

I had already practiced a few maneuvers with it (you cannot stall this thing! At least in the simulator I could not), so one of the ultimate tests was flying IFR with it (flight rules which allow and may require flying through clouds or low visibility). Rather than cloud the view I'll just tilt the outside view down to simulate zero-vis conditions.

(different flight. View is a Piper Cherokee above)

ILS minimums. A bit fast, a bit high, it was my first time. Doing this with one engine will be the next challenge..
