Englishal, I want to get a Multi Engine Piston Class Rating because I haven't got one, and I want one so that I can hire a very nice twin that has become available privately. Its got nothing to do with comercial etc. Unfortunately training cannot be conducted on this particular twin fior various reasons.
My problem is that Australia don't have a Multi Engine Piston Class Rating, so when I flew a Duchess and a Partenavia out there, I was given an individual type rating authorisation for each type separately. Unfortnately, according to the CAA and LASORS, this is not nearly as useful as say doing an MEP rating in the US, where you can convert it easily to UK licences. Had I known, I probably wouldn't have spent all my money out in Oz, because its annoying knowing how to fly twins, but not being licenced to do so in this country, ... unless anyone knows of a VH-xxx twin for hire...!
