 Commercial / Multiengine rating, combined?
I had 1000 hours in a Skylane when I got my commercial/multi engine rating.
I already
had an instrument rating. My instructor said that I wouldnt have to do the
manuvers if I
combined the two. For my checkride (from memory..it was 6 yrs ago) I had to
demonstrate
VMC, power on and power off stalls, stop and restart critical engine. We did
3 approaches,
2 with simulated engine out and all with the hood on. The oral was about 2
hrs and mostly
aircraft systems & procedures. I didnt have to do the 8's about a pylon,
chandella's (spelling)
and the other manuvers for the commercial rating. I took the check ride in
my 310. My
pilots license says my rating is: Commercial Pilot, Multi Engine Land,
Instrument Airplane,
Private Priveleges, Airplane Single Engine Land.
