Question MultiEngine Rating/MEI

Typically how many hours does it take to get the multiengine rating?
How many more to get the MEI?
Has anyone here done both checkrides at the same time?

Thanks!

cant speak for the MEI but the ME takes anywhere between 9-20....if you go to ATP or somewhere similiar you will do it in around 9, if you go to an FBO you will probably do it around 15 or so hours, I have found that FBO's are more cautious to ensure you really "know" the material as opposed to "knowing enough" to pass a checkride.

that is my two cents though and is not an ATP knock or a knock on anyone who took 9 hours to get their multi

i did my ME commercial add/on at Skymates and had 5.5hr after the checkride.
You will need 15hr Multi PIC to take the MEI.

Go see Clyde Fredrickson out in Arlington, TX. $1295 guaranteed. You will probably only get about 3-4 hours in the plane, and the rest will be spent in a mockup doing your flows and so forth. It is a three day program. I didn't go there but I've heard great things about the program. PM me if you need the number because they don't have a website.

As far as the MEI...after the 15 hours of pic it is just a matter of proficiency.
