What is the specific requirement for hours of instrument training for the commercial multi add-on?

For the commercial multi-engine add-on, the regulation specifies that a pilot must have a minimum of 10 hours of instrument training. This training is crucial as it equips pilots with the necessary skills to operate aircraft under instrument flight rules (IFR). During this time, trainees learn about navigation, communication, and the handling of the aircraft in various weather conditions where visual references may be limited or nonexistent. The objective is to ensure that pilots can safely and confidently conduct instrument approaches and navigate effectively, which is essential for multifaceted flying environments.

This requirement reflects the importance of instrument training in building a pilot's proficiency and experience in multi-engine aircraft operations, which enhance overall safety and flight competence.
