CFII and MEI at the same time?
 

I want to get both of these ratings and it would be easier to just do it all in a multi-engine airplane. Is this possible, or would I have to do the CFII in a single-engine airplane, and then do the MEI in a Multi? I have heard that you can get your CFII and MEI all on the same checkride. I already have my CFI just to clarify.

Thanks

I did my CFII and MEI in an Apache, two separate checkrides.

14 CFR part 1
category and class
i take it airplanes is your category. What class planes are you going to instruct in??
In order to teach as a CFII in a SE you need to take a checkride for SE and a seperate checkride to teach as a CFII in ME aircraft since they are different "classes" of aircraft. Single engine vs. multi engine

Some instructors I know of worked on their II in a twin, but then took the checkride in a 172 and then the MEI in the Seminole. This kills two birds with one stone. You get the instrument training plus time towards your 15 multi PIC.

I have heard that some examiners will let you do both in the same checkride, but most won't do it. It is legal if you can find a DE that will do it.

BTW, you only need one checkride for the CFII. Works for ME or SE.

You could do both in the same checkride however I was under the impression that you could give instrument instruction in a ME so long as the other person was rated. I don't have my MEI but there is nothing that says my CFII is for only single engine aircraft is there? A vor approach is the same regardless of 1 engine or 4.

Only if they're all running.

excellent point

Yes, the CFII works for any airplane that you are rated in (twins, seaplane, etc.) With certain aircraft you need a certain amounnt of time in make & model to do any sort of instructing in the aircraft (5 hours for light twins).

Not true for Instrument instruction. One checkride in ANY airplane is all you need...

You can take the checkride in a 152 and then teach in a 747, or vice versa.
