First MPA Type Rating & ME/IR Currency
I’m just looking for some clarification on the requirement for a current ME/IR to undergo training for an initial MPA TR.
Lasors 2010 states:
Pre-requisite conditions for training
hold a current and valid multi-engine Instrument
Rating (Aeroplanes). This requirement applies to a
first MPA type rating. For subsequent type ratings
the Instrument Rating may be renewed if necessary
during the type rating course and skill test. A UK
QSP(A) who has held a Green Instrument Rating
within the preceding 5 years is deemed to hold a
‘current and valid’ Instrument Rating.
Does this in practise mean:
Option A) I only need a current ME/IR to commence TR training however it can expire before course completion.
Option B) The ME/IR has to be current up to the point of the TR skills test and then that in effect renews the IR.
Option C) The ME/IR needs to be current at the point of application for the TR to be endorsed on my licence by the CAA.
Option D) Other.
Thank you in advance for your response. Use of the search function didn’t yield any answers.
