FE with only PPL cannot take MEP test of CPL holder
Came across something strange today.
I know an examiner who hold a FE, CRE, IRE and TRE. Unfortunately he now only hold a class 2 medical, so his ATPL has been momentarily downgraded to a PPL.
As such he told he, he was told that he could no examine pilots who were holding a CPL or ATPL even if it was only for a SEP or MEP rating ?
The guys, even only with a PPL, still hold a FI for MEP and IR and as such can use this privilege to perform PC on any licence holder for a MEP and IR test. The only thing he cannot do now is a CPL skill test as he only holds a PPL due to his class 2 medical.
Am I right ?
thanks
