Fast forward. I now have 242 hours and I have my commercial multi (initial) checkride scheduled for the 27th (next tues). Because of lack of dates I am now going to do both in the same day to get them out of the way. I will be doing my CMEL in the morning, break for lunch, and then start all over again for my CSEL addon in the afternoon.
I have not had problems on any of my 3 rides before and I dont see this would be a huge problem but I just wanted to get some of your advice...am I setting myself up for failure or is this something that is obtainable with hard work and a little luck?
It is doable because the add-on requirements for the SE ticket (once you have the multi) are very basic: engine-out landings should be the meat of it, IIRC.
I'm assuming you are doing both with the same DPE, and are doing a single oral with him...if not things might get tougher.
Good Luck
