Multi Engine Rating v Multi Engine CPL

DME,
You can do your ME rating whilst you do your Instrument rating training, (I did my ME rating test at the end my 170A flight (pre IR test), most of the content of the ME rating test is covered in the 170A anyway so all you have to do is the visual stalls and a flapless circiut, all the asymetric stuff will have been covered already in the test.) Doing it that way only added about 10 mins flying time onto the course and negated the need for a separate flight test. Hope that makes sense….

I notice you are from Glasgow, (I can highly recommend the CPL/IR training at Perth!)

Best Regards

Thanks for the tip. I’ve tried to email Perth, but I’ve had no reply. I might take a trip up there on day – I’ve never been there.

Cheers

Right, if you have a multi-engine CPL you have a multi-engine rating which is always valid, however you have to get a multi-engine IR as well, otherwise you can only fly IFR in a single and no airline will be interested in that! Best to just CPL in a single and then IR in a multi, but all multi hours are important!

Excellent Martin;

Thanks for clearing that up 😀

I assume I will only have to do the ME/CPL combined as there is no point doing the ME and then doing it again with the CPL.

I’ll do some research on this one at OAT for you tomorrow and get back to you mate.
