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
Thanks

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.

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