Commercial ASEL and AMEL rides at the same time?
I recently took my commercial ASEL ride and must retake a few parts of the
practical portion, but the complex single I've been using is no longer available to me. A CFI friend suggested that I could start my multiengine training now, then take a combined ASEL/AMEL commercial ride, whereby the complex requirement would be satisfied by the twin, and I could do the areas I need to retake in a non-complex single. Is this permissible? -- Matt |

Is this permissible? I don't see why not. It looks like it should cover your bases. To be absolutely sure, why don't you ask your examiner if it will suit him? He's the one you have to satisfy. I do know you will eventually need a multi rating if you want to go anywhere in flying for a living. Even though you won't get any multi jobs to begin with, just the fact that you have the rating is going to open doors to you that weren't before. -- Mortimer Schnerd, RN mschnerdatcarolina.rr.com |

I seriously doubt an examiner will be able to do it. You can't have two engines or more and still call it a SEL. |

Wheather or not this is a good idear would depend precisly on what type of manuevers have to be redone... Robert |
