First type rating with expired MEP?
Hi all!
Wonder if some one out there can help me with a licensing issue which I've been grappling with. I cant seem to find the necessary info in my plethora of air law material.
I am due to start an A320 type rating shortly. I have a JAR CPL/IR (SEP MEP and SPA-ME-IR). These ratings will all be current when I start my type rating, but I suspect the MEP will lapse before I finish it (and if delayed, possibly the IR).
Does anyone know if this will affect my type rating or if it only needs to be valid when I start.
Thanks!

Thanks for the replies chaps.... it sounds like I may be OK.
One thing does confuse me though. If you get a MPA IR as part of the type rating, then why do you need to do a SPA IR in the first place? Especially if it can lapse before you start the TR?

What if one has a current ICAO multi-pilot IR, but the UK JAA IR has lapsed and there was never any type on the UK licence, can one still start the JAA initial type rating based on the validity of the ICAO IR?
Thanx
