I'm in the increasingly common situation of having completed my ATPL(A) theory, then doing the CPL(A), but since there are no airline jobs currently getting an FI(A) rather than an IR(A).
I now have about 18 months until my ATPL(A) groundschool expires, so I am looking to get an IR(A) to lock it in for 7 years. I can't find anything in the legislation that the IR(A) needs to be in a multi engine aircraft, only that a CPL and IR must be completed within 36 months. Since an SEIR(A) would be much cheaper, and could have the same effect of locking the groundschool for 7 years, it is well worth pursuing.
Does anyone know if this is the case?
