Default Got my license to learn today

Well just finished my checkride about an hour ago. I now have my shiny new ( well paper ) PPL. It was a long day. 3 hours of oral and preflight then 2.0 in the plane. Weather sucked we could barely get to 2000' for the manuvers. It is a good feeling to have it complete. Took me 3 months and 50 hours.

I was thinking Multi and then inst in the twin. The FAA examiner said that I may have to do 2 checkrides doing that though because she thought my multi would be VFR only and then id I did the Inst in the twin I would have to go back and get the inst in a single. I'm not sure we were talking about the same thing though and I wasn't going off on that tangent at the time. If I get my inst rating in a twin is it good in a single? She said normally there is instrument stuff on the twin checkride after you already have your single inst that covers the twin isnt.

Duk, congratulations! This is something to be proud of, particularly since you did it with only 50 hours. Nice job! I wish I could motivate my subordinates, students and clients to do what they need to do in life.

Congrats! What she was probably referring to was getting your multi engine rating before your instrument rating. You already have the private certificate just need to add the multi and then the instrument. It's instrument airplane so you don't need to worry about getting a "single engine instrument". Keep the blue side up!
