Let's assume you have approximately 175hrs, with IR and all the experience requirements for the commercial (except for the 250hrs, obviously). Let's also assume you are in a flight club with a Cherokee 180 for $80/hr and a C177RG for $100/hr, but no twins. Finally, let's assume that your current goals are to get your CPL ME IR and CFI, CFII, and MEI.
Do you think it would make sense to get a Multi PPL now so that all the training for the Multi Commercial can be logged towards the 15hrs Multi PIC requirement of the MEI? Would you this?
Secondly, what is the benefit of doing the ME CPL as the initial over the SE? At what stage would you need to make the decision? Also, roughly how long should it take to learn the commercial maneuvers?
Finally, what is the benefit of doing the MEI or CFII as your initial instructor rating?
Thanks
