For a first MPH type rating the LST can also act as the ATPL(H) LST and the extension of an SP IR(H) to MP IR(H). In my last role I clarified this with the CAA when we put an ex-military (Sea King) pilot with a CPL/IR (H) and an AW139 SP type rating through an S-92 TR course. He came out with an ATPL/IR(H) following one LST (in the sim).
Yes, absolutely correct, it was done in FSI in Farnborough quite often and it was 100% legal.....
