Rant On - £100 extra for MECR
Chuffer,
FEAR NOT! This problem was raised by my FTO (who shall remain nameless but reside at an airport somewhere in Oxfordshire) and they were a great help.
Basically both your CPL (SEP) and MECR are both skill tests.
For the license issue price you can have one class rating but not both so:
Apply for IR (MEP) with MECR
If you happen to know your CPL (SEP) examiner then they are usually more than happy to sign the class rating insert for absolutely no charge at all (having said that....not done mine yet but she knows whats coming).
I checked with a couple of CFI's and they see no problem at all; I may even have mentioned it to the school's man from the CAA but cant be certain.
Points to note:
Must be a CPL SEP not CPL MEP skill test - your PPL one wont count either so if you did do the CPL MEP you cant have a CPL SEP - - - Cheers CAA!!!!!???!!!!!
Hope this is a help to you.
