single pilot A/C instrument rating

hi guys !

At the moment I am training for a A320 type rating . I am due to finish in a couple of weeks ( great !! ).

here is my question :

The JAR-FCL says that you need a Valid Multiengine instrument rating to start the training for a JAR25 Type rating A/C . ok !

Mine was still current at the time I started the course but is now lasped ( 1 month time ) ... I wonder if the CAA would issue a A320 type rating on my licence anyway or would they require a renewal of my SPA IR ( single pilot A/C Instrument rating ) first ??

I would like to avoid renewing my SPA IR to save money ... I am sure you understand !! lol

In my TRTO , no one seems to know ... may be you guys could help ?

thanks in advance !

cheers !

The last part of you sim training will be a IR test (multi crew) which
should satisfy any such requirement from the CAA.

thanks for the info !!

I let you know if you re right !

cheers

are you doing the A320 rating off your own back or are you currently employed? if off your own back i would be interested to hear how many hours you have got and if you get employed because of your new rating.

Cheers
