EASA CRI and DHC-6

[DHC6to8]

Have been looking at how to become a CRI on the DHC-6? How does one go about it? I have the rating, and loads of time on it, just never put in on my EASA license. If I put the rating on my EASA and take a CRI course, does that automatically qualify me to be a CRI on the DHC-6 under EASA? Any help appreciated.
Thanks… am terrible at navigating EASA…
Cheers

CRI privileges are limited to the class/type the instructor AOC was completed on. See link below for how to extend your privileges afterwards.

Surely you're looking for TRI rather than CRI?

Thanks for the feedback, would it be more advantageous to do the TRI path on the DHC-6 aircraft rather than the CRI? I hold a rating on another large transport category aircraft on my EASA ATPL would completing the TRI on that aircraft then allow me automatically to be a TRI on the DHC-6?
Thanks for the feedback and helpful suggestions

DHC6 can be done by a CRI as it is "Single Pilot" and not a "High Performance Aircraft".

See EASA Class and Type Endorsement List: https://www.easa.europa.eu/en/docume...orsement-lists

My understanding is that we only have TMG, SEP, SET and MEP (in land/sea variations) as class ratings, everything else is a type rating. The DHC6 is a multi-engine turbine, it is that rather than the SP issue that makes it a type rating AFAIK.

I know we're talking about EASA in this instance, but if you check the CAA Examiner Lists you'll find all the DHC6 examiners are either FE or CRE. None are a TRE. Those Examiner qualifications require an underlying FI or a CRI.

The question was can a CRI teach for a DHC6 Type Rating, which they can. You'd only need a TRI (SPA) for a high performance, single pilot aircraft. Which if you check the document I linked above, would be something like a Honda Jet, Cirrus Vision Jet etc etc..

I see that all of the DHC6 rated examiners are indeed all (at least) qualified to examine for MEP (land) as well. I can see the point about the underlying FI or CRI being needed. Interesting that the 'class' element extends to more than the ones I mentioned earlier. I was looking at it from a piloting and not an instructing perspective. Thanks.
