Single IFR to Multi IFR

[elcap]

I use to hold a Multi Command Instrument Rating, but now days I only hold a Single Engine Command Instrument Rating. What would be required to go from A Single to Multi Rating again? Just sit a MECIR flight test?

[desmotronic]

If your m/e rating has been expired more than 12 months you will need to do same test as for initial rating issue.

I don't believe that is so! Its only the ME bit of his IR that is not current!

I have been in a similar position to you. For the last couple of years I have only renewed to SEIR as I do 99.9% of my flying in the Bonanza and have no reason to bother with ME at the moment.

If your SEIR is current ( or if you do a SEIR renewal) you should only be required to do the following additionally in a multi-engined aircraft:

1) EFATO (Edit: Engine Failure After Take-off - under the hood, obviously)
2) Asymmetric approach (or engine failure in the approach) and missed approach - on one aid only!

I guess if they want to really give you a workout you might be asked to demonstrate asymmetric circling once visual.

PS: Sorry - I can't give you references for the above - but talk to an experienced IR instructor who is not just interested in relieving you of as much cash as possible.

[elcap]

FTDK. That sounds alot easier. Im in the same boat as you only flying single ifr so didn't bother renewing the whole multi thing.

For the dumb such as myself what is EFATO?

Anyone know of a reference for this?

Cheers El

[Jabawocky]

you have held an MECIR and have not heard of that acronym:{

Lets just say in a twin its about the worst thing to have to deal with After Take Off

J:ok:

[elcap]

ahhh yes got it now. Assuming its got something to do with the spinny things.

[Bevan666]

My initial was done in a twin, which I kept current for a few years, then just did my renewal in a single, and then back to twin for a few years, and now back to single again.

Just do your next renewal in the twin to renew your MECIR.

Bevan..

[Clearedtoreenter]

Just turn up for the test in a twin - and be ready to do the assymetric bits.

I always thought the 'retirement village' was Launy!;)

[Capt Wally]

'HH' I was at Launy last night & believe me they get flogged !!! One plane, one pilot ( at a time) & they can fly all night, even coming over to the mainland a couple of times in a night. EN is the retirement village:)

The question again Elcap?

[hurlingham]

Elcap

Was a few years ago but when I went from SECIR to MECIR it was exactly as the Doctor said.
You will only be valid MECIR to the same date your SECIR expires though

Now, let me see! I hijacked this thread by providing a timely (20 min after the initial post), accurate (subsequently verified), polite answer to elcap's question.

Yes Captain F, you are right! It is just not good enough, is it? After all, this is D & G Aviation & Questions on Proooone!

Come on Mods - let try to maintain higher, er - should that be lower (?), standards in here!
