EASA licence question
I'm almost at the end of an integrated course, which should lead to applying for the CPL/IR with a multi-engine rating in a couple of weeks.
The training, although conducted largely on singles, did not include a formal SEP rating test.
I also have an existing NPPL with both SSEA and SLMG ratings, recently revalidated, not yet converted into an EASA LAPL version.
So what is the best option here?
1. Apply for the CPL as a multi-engine licence only, and separately convert the NPPL to an LAPL for flying singles and motorgliders. Or
2. Try to get the CPL issued with an SEP and TMG rating included on the basis of the NPPL, and don't bother with the LAPL.
I've been trying to find out if option 2 is actually possible. CAP804 does not seem to say either way, and the CAA are taking about two weeks to answer their emails.
I'm aware that you are not allowed to hold two EASA licences for the same aircraft class, so I can't have single engine ratings on both.
Has anyone been in this position and found out the answer?
Thanks.
