Interesting replies. Thanks guys.
I guess most TRTO's want to impose a deep understanding rather than just the bare minimum. One school told me that the Type Rating is only possible with a CPL and that is only achievable with passing the ATPL's.
hobbit1983, I added the MEP as IR training is mostly in a multi-piston. But interesting to think about it in the long run.
I guess step climbing the licenses and then a few would ultimately lapse once reaching the Jet.
Interesting regarding the JOC/MCC. Would I be right in saying that if I wanted a pilot in the RHS though, this would be necessary?
Thanks again!
