Flying multiple types

Does anyone know if there's any restrictions on a first officer operating two different types of aircraft (e.g. A320 and citation) concurrently?

Thanks

It used to be OK to fly types in different performance groups. i.e. Perf A and perf C.

I know of examples flying both the 767 and 737. Dunno if that has to do with the different category thing as well..

In Israel, they fly both the ATR72 and the 757-200/300.

I know a pilot who flies the Falcon 2000 as Captain and the A340 as First Officer

Doubt the UK CAA would countenance it. Pretty strict on one complex type only, or two simple ones.

And before you ask, the recurrent checks are recorded on your licence, so it would be rather obvious.

I am flying for a German company at the moment and they fly both the A320 & B738.

This is no a problem under EASA, it would do well for the UK CAA to remember that it now is only "local" office of EASA.

I was Captain on a J32 and also a Line training Captain on the BN2A Trislander. OK the latter was a class rating and ironicly more difficult to fly with 3 noise generating units and you did it on your own with no 'kit' on board.
Fortunately the company owned them all so no problem there.
Someone once told me that the CAA said you could be current on two types (JAR25) but I don't actually know.

Once in 1957 there was an opportunity/challenge to flight test/famil multiple types in a 24 hour period. Couldn't fit in more than seven. Perhaps this is some sort of record!!?
