Default Commercial Multi/ SE Addon

I completed my CMEL/SEL with OS Aviation in Siler City, NC today.

After 3 grueling days in a Twin Comanche, I was happy to be through the checkride!
Oral was about 1.5 hours. Standard questions, some IFR stuff for emphasis, and alot focused on Multi engine of course. Steep Turns, VMC demos, engine out after engine out, stalls, power on stall in a turn, slow flight, engine out VOR-A and circle to land. Did a few single engine approaches.

Next, we flew over to a neighboring airport for the Single portion, completing a short field in the twin upon landing. We took up an Alarus, which I had flown for all of 1.3 that morning. I had spent a few hours doing commercial maneuvers in a 172 last week, so that helped.
We did Chandelles, Lazy 8's, Eights on Pylons, Short and Soft field, and the always popular power off 180 accuracy landings.

I am very happy with my decision to come to OS aviation. Oscar provided exceptional training and service well worth the money paid.

The DE was extremely nice and laid back, making me feel ease with humor. That being said, he was still very thorough in my opinion.

Hello

Do you think it is doable to do both the CPL MEL and SEL in one week at OS aviation. I have 800 hrs, mostly SR22 but no MEL or CPL training. What should I pay attention to in discussing plans with Oscar ?

Sincerely

Philippe, Paris
