Good Evening Every One.
Scenario -
Indian CPL + Multi Engine IFR Holder. 250 Hours Flying Experience. (Yes...Yet another one of them)
The Multi Engine Instrument Rating (A/C more than 5700 Kg's) on my Indian CPL is lapsing very soon.
Before my Multi IFR, I had a Single Engine IFR on my CPL.
Now I am unable to renew my Instrument Rating on the Multi Engine Aircraft and hence I wish to get a single engine IFR to keep my rating current.
Problems -
Q1. Is it possible that I can actually renew my Single IFR ? If yes, whats the requirement ?
(Last check on Single Engine A/C was 2 years back, after that I did it on the Multi)
Q2. If I renew Single IFR, will it "CANCEL" or Jeopardize my Multi Engine Type rating in any form ?
(I hear this from fellow Indian Aviators and what it literally means is that if I fly a Single Engine now, To fly a Multi later on, I will have to do the whole Multi 'TYPE Rating' all over again).
Example - If one is flying a Boeing or Airbus commercially , and one fine day feels like soaring the Cessna 152, He/ She cannot fly the Cessna and Log times in their Logbooks without getting their Jet A/C type rating lapsed ?
Q3. And say I get a Single IFR on my CPL. In future what do I have to do to get the Multi IFR back on?
(Additional Simulator Hours or Whole Instrument Rating Requirement on Multi again ?)
Please consider in all scenarios, the A/C is above 5700 Kg's. And Problem is geographically located in India.
Solution - :confused:
I searched the CAR's. Couldn't get any help from there. Any input will be Greatly appreciated.
Safe Landings !
