LAFF-

I may be missing something in all that but FAA requires you to take your commercial checkride in complex airplane which means adjustable prop (C150 is fixed). Does he train in a C150 then have you take your checkride in an Arrow? Did you forget to mention some Arrow hours in the deal? You would want as a minimum perhaps 15 hours Arrow time to get your complex signoff plus be at ease doing commercial manuevers in one for your checkride. Building time in a C152 to get to the magic 250 mark is ok but you should use it very little the last 15 hours.

The other thing I would worry about in these packages is I think if you do your initial instrument rating in a multi you can only use it in a multi unless you go back and add single engine instrument privileges later on. I am not dead certain this is true, but if so you would not want to be stuck using your instrument ticket only in a twin plus if you plan to do any single engine commercial flying (part 135) they will require it.
