Hi
My school tells me that the FAA recently changed the FARs for the multi-engine training, and that in order to get my commercial license with ME add-on I now need to fly 30 hours in a ME aircraft. Is this true?
I checked the FARs on the FAA website, specifically FAR 61.129 (b) (http://rgl.faa.gov/REGULATORY_AND_GUIDANCE_LIBRARY/RGFAR.NSF/0/F18E724C353E3EAD86256959004C047F?OpenDocument) and it says nothing of the sort. It's supposedly a new regulation that's only been around for 2 weeks so maybe they haven't updated the website yet, but maybe the school is trying to get their multi-engine planes to fly more often and make more money this way.
Am I missing something?
Thank you
