Commercial Question

[Medicryan]

Ok, here is my situation. I was doing my commercial part 141 until my school's 141 status expired, so I have to finish it part 61. Since I have been flying for a while I have fulfilled all of the requirments except for 250 hrs, so right now all I am doing is cross countries to get to 250. Since I was planning on getting my multi right after I finished my commercial, would it be possible to do all the training required for my multi before I hit 250 and then take the single checkride and then the multi checkride? It just seems that since I am just time building right now I can save money, do the multi training, and be a little bit more productive. I wasn't sure how all this worked so maybe you guys can give me a little insight on how to do this.

Thanks,

Ryan

I don't see why you couldn't do that. Building time might as well be fun and educational.

as long as the key flights are fulfilled (i.e. 250nm XC), total time is total time.

and a great way to save some cash.

Why spend all the money up to 250SE hours THEN another X ME hours.

I'd do it the way you're thinking.

Unless the rules or specific hour requirements prohibit something then it makes more sense to cross couple as many types of hours/experience you can.
