Which Route for an FAA CPL MEIR?
Hi all,
My ultimate aviation goal (FAA scheme), would be to acquire an FAA CPL MEIR. I understand that with the FAA CPL MEIR, I can fly INSTRUMENT COMMERCIALLY on a SINGLE ENGINE and a MULTI ENGINE Aircraft.
I am currently at the Private level, holding both ASEL and AMEL (VFR only).
Below is a layout of the other ratings i will be taking in order:
1) PPL ASEL IFR
2) PPL AMEL IFR (essentially, add IFR privileges onto my multi rating, giving me a PPL ME IR)
3) Commercial ASEL
4) Commercial AMEL
The confusing thing is Step 3 and 4.
I am under the impression that with a PPL MEIR to start off with, after I have completed the Commercial ASEL, my certificate automatically reads Commercial Pilot Multi Engine Land Instrument. Is this correct?
On the other hand, I've heard from other sources that I would still need to take a Commercial Multi add-on checkride which comprises of just normal IFR approaches and engine out IFR approaches...which I would have already done when I am adding the IFR privileges onto my multi rating at the private level.
I'm confused with this aspect. WOuld like to seek advice from you guys out there
