Question CMEL Checkride question

Hello all,
Got my commercial multi-engine land initial checkride coming up here in the next couple of weeks, and have a quick question that I would like the answer to. During the checkride, do you have to perform lazy-eights, chandelles, etc. Looked at the PTS and it doesn't say it's required, but I want to make sure you don't (Plan on discussing it with my instructor and DPE tomorrow or Thursday).

Thanks for your help!

No, it should be, short-field T/O and landings, engine cut probably on the runway T/O roll and/or at climb out, steep turns, slow flight, stalls, VMC demo, engine shutdown and restart, and single engine approach. Maybe a gear failure or emergency descent too, to spice it up. I too have my CMEL ride coming up. Good luck to you man!!

Go to FAA .GOVweb site and download the latest PTS. It is free. Nothing outside the PTS will be game. Good luck.

It does not matter if this is an add-on Comm to an ASEL or initial Comm AMEL, because AMEL and AMES Commercial ratings only require one Performance Maneuver which is the Steep Turns. Neither a commerical add-on or first time AMEL require any others.. per the PTS.

Wow, so not much different than the ME check-ride?

Thanks! Did my PMEL checkride back in May so it's looking like it will just be a repeat of the maneuvers, etc. Good luck to you!

I do not. Going to try and do my CMEL first.

I was looking over the one I got a couple days ago, but just wanted to make sure! Thanks!

Ahh okay, that actually changes everything. I was thinking it was an add-on to your CSEL... That's my bad...
