Single Pilot / Multi Pilot Type Ratings (EASA)
Hello all,
I tried my luck with this in Flying Instructors & Examiners but I didn't get any replies:
An operator uses a single pilot ME helicopter in both single-pilot and multi-pilot operations (depending on the contract, in accordance with the Ops Manual).
Under EASA, do the pilots need only 1 generic type rating, or do they need both a SP type rating and a MP type rating? If the latter, how are these revalidated? i.e. 2 different LPCs each year?
Now extend the same scenario out to including IR on that type. How does that work under EASA?
Any references would be greatly appreciated!
