Cessna Skymaster
CAP 601 says
A MEP Class rating conducted on Centerline Thrust aeroplanes will be endorsed with a Limitation prohibiting flight on all non-centerline thrust aeroplanes.
I suppose that it means that you definitely need a MEP to fly a Cessna Skymaster.
If you passed your MEP skill test on a normal MEP, a difference training is enough to fly the Cessna Skymaster
But the regulation says
FCL.620 IR — Skill test
(a) Applicants for an IR shall pass a skill test in accordance with Appendix 7 to this Part to demonstrate the ability to perform the relevant procedures and manoeuvres with a degree of competency appropriate to the privileges granted.
(b) For a multi-engine IR, the skill test shall be taken in a multi-engine aircraft. For a single-engine IR, the test shall be taken in a single-engine aircraft. A multi-engine centreline thrust aeroplane shall be considered a single-engine aeroplane for the purposes of this paragraph.
Although the regulation does not say so, I infer that an IR-SE is enough to fly a Cessna Skymaster under IR.
So it seems to me that to fly under IFR a Cessna Skymaster you need
- A MEP
- An IR-SE.
Do you agree?
