Question from a newbie here..I have not begun to take lessons yet so I am ignorant as to the path that is required..
You have Private Pilot Cert. Instrument rating, Commercial Single Engine Land, Multi-engine rating, and Commercial-instrument Multi-Engine rating..
If you are looking to get commercial-instrument multi-engine rating do you have to do the commerciall single engine land rating first.? What , if any, steps can be skipped.?..or, is it like getting a Masters Degree..you have to have the undergrad before you can start the grad program..?

Wow...surprised noone responed to this...

Here is the typical order

Private
Instrument
Commercial (Single or Multi or both)
Flight Instructor
ATP (typically, once hired by an airline)

If you skip the instrument then you are going to have restrictions placed on your Commercial Certificate.  You can do either Single or Multi Commercial first and then just add on the additional rating.  If you already have your instruement then you can incorporate the Instrument check in your commercial check ride so that you can excersie the privledges of the IFR under you commercial certificate.  Otherwise you would have a Commercial Certificate but only allowed to excersie the IFR under Private limiations.

It can be confusing but if you need a better explanation, let me know and I will try to help out.
