Isn't the commercial multi checkride basically the same as a private? Why would it take 25 hours? I mean, I guess you could make it take that long if you wanted the time, but if a guy can get the private multi in 5 hours, what not a commercial multi in 5?
Just wondering.
I guess you'd need 10 complex for the commercial.

I'm pretty sure you can get your multi-com in like 5 hours... I'm getting my add-on in a twin commanche in 8 hours... I guess it all depends on the school's program.
I know you have to have 15 hours multi PIC to get your MEI tho.

no requirement for a multi add on and the checkride was the easiest one I ever took. I know guys who got there multi in about 5 hours (what mcartier713 said)and thats with a 1.5 hour checkride, I got mine after 10.5 hours (in a C310) and been flying in it to get ME PIC.
If i remeber i think the checkride goes:
-normal takeoff
-engine failure on rakoff roll
-engine failure on climbout and return for landing on one engine
-normal climb/cruise
-steep turns
-slow flight
-take-off/landing/full flap stall
-Single engine shutdown and restart
-Vmc demonstration
-Drag demonstration
For instrument:
-ILS approach and missed approach
-ILS approach with engine failure

Pretty much. I just had mine a couple of days ago. The only difference is that he did not fail an engine on climb out, but I had to short field takeoffs & landings, and a single engine circle to land from the ILS approach.

BTW, since I just got my multi/comm/inst, I am looking into building some multi PIC time, but the school won't let me take the plane without a MEI. Besides renting the plane and paying the MEI to seat next to me, are there any other options (cheaper) to build multi time? Thanks.

really...circle to land from an ILS, technically you don't need to do that for a comm add on, only for an ATP checkride, but I did practice them during the training

Well, we were on the single engine approach (RWY 35) coming in for a full stop. RWY 17 was the active, and he did not give me the engine back when I started circling.
