The most important part is whoever you bring should be female and
hopefully unattached. The Bahamas are a very seductive place.

Trust me.


*yawn*


Well, pardon the **** out of me. Go back to sleep.

I then did the commercial check ride in my C172 and the Deb - with
0.3hrs in the deb (two circuits around the pattern at an uncontrolled
field).


Good suggestions.

You could install a constant speed prop and retractable nose gear to
your Cozy, then you would be all set...


Well, I have retractable nose gear already, and there are COZY's with CS
props (but not mine), but NO COZY's have flaps, and it's not possible to
install them (the landing brake/belly brake is NOT a flap), so it's
still not complex..... :-).

Oh, well.

There's NO reg that says you can't take the Commercial Checkride in two
planes (i.e., a complex and a non-complex). In fact, I did just that; did
the maneuvers in the C-172 and the Complex demonstrations (required in the
PTS) in a Piper Arrow II. Only trick is to find a D.E. that is okay with
that... I had no problem (knew of two D.E.'s both willing to spilt the test
for a slightly higher examiner fee).
