Converting SEP IR to MEP IR

10 Posts

Anybody know the answer to this?

Pilot has EASA SEP IR and MEP rating (and CPL) what does he need to do to convert to MEP IR ?

Is it just training as required and skills test or some minimum hours MEP IR training ?

15 hrs IR in MEP and skill test, IIRC.

ESSB, Stockholm Bromma

Suggest asking on the PPL/IR Europe forum and/or Jim Thorpe at Rate One Aviation

I am 95% sure it is 5hrs mandatory training plus the skills test. Some of the training can be in a simulator. There may be an abbreviated skills test.

I did this back in 1999, and did manage to get an abbreviated skills test which avoided the en-route section.

5 hours MEP IR in ATO and skill test. I went this path last year and I doubt anything has changed since.

Does anyone have a tip where I can find the 5h IR in the EASA FCL?

Appendix 6 to part-FCL, para. A 9 (traditional IR) or Aa 12 (CB-IR):

The holder of a single-engine IR who also holds a multi-engine class or type rating wishing to obtain a multi-engine IR for the first time shall complete a course at an ATO comprising at least 5 hours instruction in instrument flying in multi-engine aeroplanes, of which 3 hours may be in an FFS or FNPT II.

Thanks a lot guys! Do I see that correctly, that I as SEP IR holder, at the initial course to MEP, must take two exams, one for the CR and the other after the MEP IR Transition?

Yes, you need the skill test for the MEP CR and then the ME IR skill test. The ATO might be able to consolidate the training and exams though.
