ATP multi engine holder with no single engine experience.
I have a question.
Some 40 or so years ago, my co worker had spent just 8 hours in a single engine Cessna before be selected to flight training with the US Air Force.
From then on he only flew multi-engine planes.
He flew the Cessna T37 Tweety Bird followed by the T38 Talon in training.
Then onto the F15 Eagle and finishing his career as squadron commander on T43 Gators (Boeing 737-200) before joining our company.
As he approaches retirement age, he'd like to volunteer at an organ transport charity that has Pilatus PC12s out of his home field.
He can not even take his grand kids flying in a rented Cessna.
How can he get single-engine privileges on his ticket?
Since his ticket only says ATP multi engine.
I would offer him the use of my Cessna 172 to do a Commercial single engine check ride.
But the thought of doing all the maneuvers having never done them before is rather overwhelming.
It doesn't sound like the sort of thing you could get ready for in a week-end.
So I'm now thinking a single engine ATP may be an easier way.
Any thoughts on a simple best way forward?
