Help with Prop Governor Theory

Nope, unfortunately I do not have any other ratings other than my PPL. We're 141, and I'm about to finish the COMM SEL training, then moving on to MEL training, taking the ride for our COMM/Instrument/Multi rating after that. Our school switched COMM SEL training to C172's to lower the cost when the FAA got rid of the reg requiring the training to be in a complex aircraft.
And just a side note: I'm going in for the oral tomorrow. Hitting the books hard tonight.

Last summer I think, maybe even less time ago. Schools have been selling their Cessna 172RGs and other little retracts like hot potatoes. It was always a silly rule in my opinion having a separate aircraft just to show someone can swing a gear handle.

Wow!! Is that just a 141 thing.. or 61 also? Same for the CFI ride or no?

I know last year I was reading the proposal to get rid of this requirement and substitute it for 10hrs of Advanced instrument training, but I haven't heard anything of it actually changing. I work for a large 141 school which will do ANYTHING to get rid of our RG, but we are still using it.

Ok so after reading your post a little more, are you actually taking a SE Commercial check ride and receiving a certificate? or is your school going to be giving you a Multi commercial license, with a SE add on after you complete more training? If this is the case, then you never have to use a complex aircraft since it would be an add on, but this isn't a new rule.
