nope, you canīt....if your domestic authority is as stupid as the German is.
C500,550,C560 is a TYPERATING...
C501/551 is a CLASSRATING.
For years I held a rating C500/501/550/551/560.
Bt nowadays, at least in Germany they consider this to be 2 different ratings - we sold our C551 for that very reason (would have been third rating in the company).
Which is utter nonsense - absolute identical aircraft just with different weights - but what would one expect from JAA/EASA/LBA ???
