OK, I'll admit it up front. I'm too damned lazy to go look it up. Or to even Google it. Here's my question. Does the check ride have to be done in the complex airplane? I've HEARD that the majority of the check can be done in your basic C-152/PA-28. The applicant must then demo their ability in the complex to the examiner by doing some takeoff/landings. I have two kids that are both close to their commercial checks and am just curious.
