|  comm requirements question so i'm supposed to be taking my comm ride on monday in a single and then a multi add on at the same time, the multi counting for the complex portion. I took a long dual night x-c to Reno this last year in the twin with my instructor. I was wondering if needed a long dual night x-c in a single engine before I am able to take my checkride. Thanks Last edited by montanapilot; November 17th, 2006 at 02:18. |

One cross-country flight of at least 2 hours in a single-engine airplane in night VFR conditions, consisting of a total straight-line distance of more than 100 nautical miles from the original point of departure; and I'm also surprised that your examiner will allow the multi to count towards your complex proficiency. What if you don't pass your multi side? You'll have a Commercial with no test as to complex proficiency. Or else you'll fail both. I also wonder if it's correct that when taking two checkrides at once, the total test is less than the sum of its parts. Doesn't seem right. | |

| Re: comm requirements question It seems like he should take his commercial multi and then single engine add on as the second ride, I bet that's what he means. Why would complex multi time not court towards a single engine commercial? |

It doesn't say that for the Commercial, but I thought there was a FAQ that says that. I don't have my refererences with me. | |

| Re: comm requirements question I'm talkin' about the 10 hours complex time needed for a single engine commercial. Guys have been doing that in complex multi's for years. You think that's wrong? |

As for the complex training, the regulations don't say explicitly that it must be in a single-engine airplane, but it does reference 61.127(b)(1), which is the area of operations for a single-engine class rating. It certainly seems arguable that the training must occur in a complex single. I don't know off-hand what the FAQ's say about it. | |

| Re: comm requirements question Doing the complex in a multi prior to the commercial initial in a single?
