The English Passenger,
I've not read the full link to the 7 year renewal statement from the CAA. However, assuming the fine contributors (esp Beags) are correct then my read is that yep your King Air multi-engined rating meets the pre-requisite to start your first multi pilot type rating. This obviously assumes you passed a multi-engined IR at some point in the last 7 years for license issue.
The multi-engined rating must be current at your course start date so whilst not sexy an IRT as close as possible to your final day would be ideal.
Good luck
ps. This also assumes the CAA Policy Department haven't changed their stance in the eighteen months since I last did battle with them. Our lot are about to recruit again, if we end up on the same merry-go-round I'll officially be threaders!
