TiredOfTeaching said:The five hours in the model is required to give instruction in that model. You need 15 PIC for Part 141 purposes. All you need for your MEI checkride is five hours PIC if you do it Part 61.
awacs941 said:So lets say you do the Commercial Multi First and skip out on the complex single. So now you have a commercial single and a commercial multi... But for the CFI ride don't you have to do stuff in a complex single? If that is true.. it would actually be harder to get it because you wouldn't have more experience in the complex single.. ?
SmellsLikeAvGas said:These are all really good points.. and I am currently working on my commercial as well (still at the early point of building time and learning maneuvers... I have about 215 right now, part 61.) I do have one question, though. At least according to my 2004 FAR/AIM, if you are going for the commercial multi engine (without already having the SEL commercial) you need 10 hrs in a multi, but you also need to do the 2 hr day/2 hr night VFR XC in the multi, and the long solo XC (or performing duties of PIC with an authorized instructor) also in the multi (300nm.) If 7-8 hours of your multi time was being spent on XCs, where you don't get much practice with landings and engine outs, wouldn't you need more training just to get comfortable with all that stuff, and might having to do all those XCs in the multi get more expensive than just doing those in a 152/172? Just wondering how it ends up working in the real world, with getting in the usual multi engine training, but also having to do long XCs in the multi as well.... ? I am not (at least at this moment) going for my CFI, so I might not even need the SEL comm, so I'm trying to see what works out best time and money-wise, but was just worried about the XCs in a multi eating away a lot of my moolah. Any thoughts, or am I totally misreading the FARs? Thanks.
