I am 6'9" so I am in the same height range as your friend.

I did all my ME training in a Piper Seminole and did not have any problems fitting in the aircraft. Perhaps also a Dutchess. I was able to fly but it was very uncomfortable. If he can withstand it for just ME training it could also be a possibility.

He should be careful with the aircraft he flies. I have rejected flying some aircraft because my long legs would get in the way of the yoke during single engine ops. Light Cessna twins come to mind and smaller turboprops.

Where about in FL is your friend, perhaps I can recommend some flight schools with a PA-44.
