I'm working on my MEI and have a couple of questions that have come up. My MEI is an initial, I do not have my CFI. My instructor orginally thought that all I had to do were the multi-engine related part of the PTS. I was able to convince him that since it was an initial, I would also have to be able to demonstrate all the PPL and Commercial maneuvers.
However, a question has come up regarding a few of the maneuvers. Specifically the 180 power off spot landing and the engine out to an off-field landing. I contend that these two maneuvers will not be required until I do the single engine add-on. My instructor is not sure and I have recieved conflicting advice from others.
I thought with the wealth of information available here, why call the FAA direct and ask?
And for those who are curious...I'm doing the MEI as an initial because I own the airplane and I have no desire to pay someone else to fly their's. A few hours to add the single is easier to deal with. I have to pay to fly my airplane anyway, adding the instructor isn't that much more.
