I have all but 5hrs left on the minimum requirement (25hrs) for ME. All military a/c flown about 12yrs ago, last flight flown 5 yrs ago. Looking to get 4-5hrs on a Cessna 182 to get back into groove and then 5hrs in a ME a/c to get me ready for the check ride.

I only paid for 1 checkride, because that's all I took. I never got a private or commercial ME. I did have to do it to ATP standards, and he also had me do a Vmc demo, which I don't think is technically required for the ATP, but since I hadn't done one on a previous checkride, we did it.
