CPL/ME and ME/IR
I have a similar question about doing CPL/ME/IR.
Would it be smart to do CPL course and MEP rating combined (doing 20 hours in SE non-complex aircraft and then the rest in MEP)?
My plan is (the cheapest option I've come across) is to start CPL/ME course as stated at cca. 160 (total) hours, but not taking the final exam. After completing the course, I would do ME/IR (40 hrs sim + 15 hrs aircraft) after that and after I'd reach 200 hours total time, I could do CPL/ME exam, which would give me MEP rating. And with valid MEP rating I could then take the ME/IR exam. Or am I thinking wrong? Is ME/IR course so much more difficult than taking SE/IR first and then 5 hours + another exam for ME/IR?
The other options are:
- to do CPL/SE, MEP and ME/IR
- to do CPL/SE, SE/IR, MEP and ME/IR
But it should be said, the latter options are much more expensive (~ 3000-5000 €)...
