Frank
What I have been trying to explain to folks out there trying to get these multi ratings and IR done. There are lots of schools out there that will train in multi engine airplanes and they do it everyday. It sounds crazy but it is going to be so much simpler to just finish the task in a standard twin that is available at almost any school. Then see what the insurance requires for your Skymaster. I guarantee it will be much easier this way then going about it the other way. It's like trying to enter through the back door instead of just walking through the front. Call your closest flight school and get it done. That may present the next problem is waiting in line at the school as these schools are so busy. Everywhere there seems to be a shortage of CFI's. You could always go to a school like ATP that may have multiple locations and may be able to do you quicker. Or maybe call these guys and tell them your story http://www.337skymaster.com/messages...ead.php?t=4643 http://www.337skymaster.com/messages...ead.php?t=4631 http://www.337skymaster.com/messages...ead.php?t=4536

In my part of the country, the problem is that flight schools don't own a twin anymore. Several list them on their websites, but when you contact them, they don't offer them anymore.

I'm betting that the insurance to teach in a ME is out the roof. I've started to look for an Apache for the purpose, but I'm scared to ask my insurance company about the idea.

Checkride Done!
Well just wanted to report that my checkride woes are now behind me. Completed today and have my new temp certificate. A lot of work to get there, very happy with the result.

I have to give all credit and kudos to Ed for solving my problem. As I have chronicled in this forum, I have been getting road block after road block to get my IR completed. When I was at my wits end I reached out to Ed, in a matter of minutes he solved my problem. This included not only referring me to Greg Hudson, but helping me escape from a crazy set of expenses around the convoluted way I was being asked to get my AMEL IR Checkride done. Ed noted that he save me 5000., I think that was conservative, and to boot he saved me a month of additional stress and training.
Ed is a proud owner of several Skymasters, and is well known here in the Southeast. Greg Hudson, my DPE, worked very hard to solve a few IACRA issues we had, and was more than fair in my checkride. I learned a few things from him, and I really apreceated his methods and approach to the checkride. As I have posted here previously, I also want to thank Leighton Pressley, he was my instructor, his information is in the Training section of this forum. Thank you Ed.

Ed, I would have been all over your 1978 Cessna T337H had I seen it back at the end of last summer. The model is was I had been looking for. All I could find were well spent. Very nice looking and equipped airplane!
So Frank, is your ME limited to CLT or did your path find a solution?
