Hello, I passed my initial MEIR (A) a few weeks ago and decided to submit my application using the CAA's eLicensing route. I am yet to complete my Multi Engine CPL or MEP Skills Test for the obvious reason of the unfortunate lock down. I hold an SEP (Land).
I haven't had my application back yet but I came across OSR4 1340 and CAP1879 regarding the requirement to hold the relevant class rating when revaliding or renewing an instrument rating. As I am an initial MEIR, presumably this does not apply to Initials? I know the subject of not requiring an MEP (Land) class before an MEIR skills test has been talked to death on the Internet but wondering if anything has changed? I cannot find anything on the EASA regs to suggest this applies to Initial MEIR applicants. The 6 hours of training in an MEP is still required before commencing MEIR training.
Presumably once I pass my MEP Skill Test and have the MEP Land affixed to my license my existing IR privileges will change from IR-SP-SE to IR-SP-ME/SE?
I have written to the CAA for clarification.
Cheers
