ATPL Theory and then SEIR?
I'm in the increasingly common situation of having completed my ATPL(A) theory, then doing the CPL(A), but since there are no airline jobs currently getting an FI(A) rather than an IR(A).
I now have about 18 months until my ATPL(A) groundschool expires, so I am looking to get an IR(A) to lock it in for 7 years. I can't find anything in the legislation that the IR(A) needs to be in a multi engine aircraft, only that a CPL and IR must be completed within 36 months. Since an SEIR(A) would be much cheaper, and could have the same effect of locking the groundschool for 7 years, it is well worth pursuing.
Does anyone know if this is the case?
