MEI Rating

[AK47]

So can you do this??? After Instrument ASEL Can you get all the ratings and certificates in between Commercial (Like CFI, CFII, MEI....MEI with the exception that you have a Multi-engine rating)

Is this what 141 schools do? Do they get you the Private through MEI then Commercial so you can use them?

read 14 CFR 61.183 (c)

 

[AK47]

Yes you can start with an mei no double i stuff. That's exactly what I did-I don't have a single engine commercial. You can't do instrument training if it is a non-instrument rated pilot, but okay if they are. I don't have a cfii I did train someone for an atp multi no problem from the feds.

More precisely, you can't do instrument training if it is a non-instrument rated pilot or if training is for a type rating not limited to VFR.

Gotta have a commercial before you can get any CFI ratings.

Strange...My Instructor told me I could get a CFI After my Instrument...But I couldn't use it until I recieved the commercial Certificate...I'll read up on it.

You have mis-understood your instructor. I honestly don't believe any instructor thinks that the way you say it.

Every instructor alive had to get his/her commercial certificate first.

He/She may have said something like: You can work on your CFI/CFII/ME/MEI during the "timebuilding" phase of getting the 250 hours required for the commercial, and when you get the commercial, you will have the skill and knowledge to take the CFI/II/ME/MEI checkrides right after you take the commercial checkride...but he didsn't say you could take those checkrides first, then the commercial later.

Yeah I think that was the case...
