Passed my Commercial Multi Instrument yesterday!. Total time on the hobbs was 1.2 hrs.

Oral went great. I was answering things well so he quickly moved on.

It helps to have all your CC time worked out with distances to make the paper work go quicker.

The flight went like this. Show me that the plane is airworthy. Short field take off. engine cut on the runway. Continue to take off. Start flying to my CC destination. At top of climb 5,500 ft, clearing turns, VMC demo, slow flight at 80 kts., transition to power off stall, Power ON stall at full power, Steep turns.

Put on the hood, he gives me vectors to VOR app at an uncontrolled airport. Shoot the approach (while getting down quickly) at MDA, point to landing RWY. Even though they were landing the short RWY he wanted touch and go's.

First landing, engine cut on downwind, land on the numbers touch and go.

Second, engine cut on upwind, short field on the numbers.

Third, go-around and head back to home airport. Emergency descent on the way back. A few quizzing on the cruise flight back about emer gear extension, etc.

All in all it went very fast and he didn't have any critiques, so that was good.

Next up commercial single add-on. Then CFI and so on.

I did my training at Sierra Academy KLVK. After passing their stagechecks and orals, the checkride seemed like a breeze. I flew in the BE-76 Duchess.
