Adding a IMC rating to an MPL
MPL holder. Had a PPL before they started thier MPL couse and the licence is annotated to say that their MPL also includes a PPL. They also have an SEP rating attached to the MPL.
Does nayone know if they get any credits towards a reduced IMC course? |
Does anayone know if they get any credits towards a reduced IMC course? Flying Training 2.1.1 The flying training for the initial issue of the IMC Rating must include a minimum of 15 hours training in instrument flying of which up to 5 hours may be in a EASA-STD device qualified BITD, FNPT I or FNPT II, or up to 2 hours may be in other FSTDs recognised by the Authority. The remaining training must be completed in a suitably equipped dual control aeroplane. The go-around procedure is to be carried out in an aeroplane. The course must cover the items detailed below. |
Interesting question. Generally you move from single pilot IR to multi pilot IR. Just do a few training flights and then take an SEIR test. That will give full Cat 1 ILS minimums AND you can use a jet LPC to recalibrate every year by experience.

Multicrew IR vs Single Crew IR
The problem with the MPL is it only has an embedded Multi-crew IR
MPL students - They don't do pass a single crew IR on the course MPL has no concept of single crew IR privilege The IMC is single crew- Managing independently a decades-old 6 pack old-tech GA aircraft flying round an NDB isn't something they would be familiar with - IMHO |
I did my IR(R) after an EASA CPL - we found at the time a clause in the regs somewhere that said I therefore didn't require the IR(R) TK written exam - it might be worth wading through the regs to see if that applies to an MPL holder also. I can't see that they have done any less TK than I had done, but I can't recall the exact wording. It *might* have said "professional licence", but I'm really not sure.

An MPL holder has an IR and will have completed all TK for an ATPL which is valid for PPL and IMC.
The IMC is single crew- |
