Hi all,

I m a CPL(A) MEP IR holder flying commercially on a jet for a british airline. I flew basically at the ppl level with a NZ PPL licence. I would love to get the SEP(A) class rating endorsed onto my CPL licence. Where would you go to do that? Train in the UK? What about FTOs in Spain? Aim is to be able to fly GA single aircraft!

Cheers mates:ok:

It should be training as required and a skills test.

Where are you based?

Julian is quite right, I am doing exactly that for a guy at the moment who joined a syndicate I teach for. He only has an MEP/IR with no SEP.

It is training as required for me to submit him for a skills test.

Hi DXMan,

I did the CTC Wings course as I very much suspect you did too!

Last year I got the SEP added to my licence by calling up a UK flying school and they basically got me to just go and do a PPL test. Depending on how rusty you are feeling you might want to do a flight or two before, but I didn't and got away fine. I did it in the DA40 in Shoreham which was G1000 so wasn't a shock after all the time in the 42.

Nav leg, *very* token diversion then a few stalls, PFL, back for a flapless T+G then a full stop. They then fill out a class rating CAA form, which you can take to the CAA in gatwick and get it put on your licence same day.

I reckon it cost me about £4-£500 to get it added to my licence.

A/C hire and landing fees etc. was roughly £200. Examiner fee which went straight to the bloke in cash was £110ish, then over £100 for the CAA to look over 3 pieces of A4 and then reprint the class/type rating page for your licence (bargain........!).

Drop me a PM if you've got any questions.
