Part 141 schools w/ commercial multi initial
Are there any Part 141 schools with initial commercial being done in multi airplane instead of the single engine commercial?
We are trying to implement this and trying to convince our FSDO with a well written syllabus.
Thanks..

I think many of the contact pilot mills do Commercial Multi-Initial. TransPac, IASCO, ATP all do it without the Comm single, or the comm single is just an add on.
Must be nice not having to do those damn Pylon 8s... but I actually think that the loss of Chandells and Lazy 8s would hurt one's skill as a pilot. I REALLY understood aerodynamics studying Lazy 8s. Pylon 8s are just useless
(kidding!)

(kidding!)And yes...I hate teaching 8s on pylons. I remember as a student getting so mad when I had to do them haha. Apparently that maneuver came from old warbirds that had guns on the side, and the pilot had to pivot around the target. Anyone else hear that same thing??

We have a part 141 Commercial pilot course that the initial rating is done in a multi-engine airplane. We designed the syllabus in such a way that immediately after earning the multi commercial students are prepared to get the single engine add on if they want it.
