Default COMM SE add on to COMM ME

I am working on adding a Comm SE to my Comm ME and then CFI-A. The school I am dealing with says I have to take the check ride in a complex single. Since I have already demonstrated the complex tasks in a ME is this necessary?

Thanks in advance.

That's a negative.

But you have to do your initial CFI in a complex or do two flights.
Ask your school if you can do your CPl SE add on from the right hand seat.
There's no requirement to do it from the left seat and it's a great practice run.

Can confirm you do not need to take your SE add on in a complex airplane. I did mine in a C152 just hours after my initial commercial in an apache.

You don't but I suspect a communication error with the school.
They're trying to keep him in the complex as he has to demonstrate complex proficiency during his initial CFI ride.
Which means take the ride in one plane ( a complex) or have to do two flights.
I'd recommend the one flight in the complex.
But hey, that's just me.

I did my Multi in the PA44 and then a week later did the single add on in an SR20. No need for complex, but I would recommend it because you'll need complex for CFI-A
