License revalidation
My SEP and MEP revalidations are both due for renewal in the next month. I had naively been under the impression that I would only be required to take the flight "test" for the MEP and that this would then automatically requalify me for SEP privileges as well, but I am now advised that I must take two separate flights in both a single and a twin in order to remain qualified to fly both singles and twins. Surely this is crazy. What possible situation could I possibly come across in a single which I could not deal with having checked out satisfactorily on normal symmetrical operations in a twin? Surely if I can fly a twin I can fly a single ? As it seems to stand at the moment , if I "pass" my revalidation for SEP in a simple C150, then I am deemed capable to continue flying my complex fuel injected , retractable, turbo charged,constant speed single, but if I "pass" my MEP in a complex twin , then I am not qualified to fly a simple single. Is this barmy or what? and why do these "instructional" flights apparently effectively amount to a retest GFT? (er sorry, I mean skill test or whatever fancy name they use these days,) when there is specifically only a requirement for exposure to instruction ?
