Does a C551 pilot need a new type rating to fly the C550??
Just as the title reads, trying to get one of our crew on to the C550, on his license it states C501/C551 but l want him to have C550 as the single pilot version is of no use to me!!
CAA reckon l should put him through new type rating which l think is mental, surely an LST/LPC would be sufficient then add the C550 at Gatwick???
Interestingly they also said if you go from the C550 to C551 you can do an LPC/LST and then you are good to fly this but it's surely harder to go from multi pilot to single pilot than single to multi!?!?!?!
Any help appreciated!

If it had been an FAAlicense, then yes he can go straight to the 550... phew, luckily the CAA/JAA know better..
Seriously, have you actually checked the JAA regs regarding this.. theres a list of typeratings somewhere that table the applicable ratings with model priviledges.
I would'nt trust what some slightly dis-interested phone person tells me..

Just my 1p worth
If you have flown the Single Pilot Citation, and have a multi crew endorsement, then I think the UK CAA will accept this situation.
Many years ago, I flew both types and never realised there was a "problem".....
happy head bashing.
