JAA CPL Multi test
Hi,
If you do your JAA CPL skill test in a multi, do you get commercial privileges in both the multi engine and the single engine? Or is it just for the multi engine?
thanks

Ok cool. i am planning on doing my instructor rating after my CPL/ME. So I was concerned that the CPL/ME may not cover the single engine commercial privileges required for the instructor rating.
Thanks

How did you find doing the CPL in a ME A/C in terms of viz out the window with the engines,compared to a single?Planning to go that way too.

It makes no odds whether you do your CPL in a single or a multi. You are training for a licence, NOT a rating. What is important is the individuals 'ratings' that you have. Theres a distinct difference between the two.
Do your CPL in a single, its much cheaper! You can excersise the privelages of your CPL in either aircraft, as long as you have either a SEP or MEP rating thats current.

A view on cost.
On one hand, if you are doing a CPL based on the multi, then any additional training hours for revisions or partial flight tests will of course cost you around £100/hr more. But you do get very familiar with the aircraft prior to the IR and get way more multi-hours to boot. The skills test combines and validates both the licence and ME rating. A separate MEP rating would involve additional gen handling, emergencies, circuits and so forth.
A SE-CPL is about what 5500 quid? A MEP can be had for about £2000-2500.
I passed my CPL last week on the DA42. I partialled the test and weather did play a role in adding a one or two hours for brushing up during the off spells. I was also my own worse enemy. I think I went over minimum hours (28) by 5-7 hours in total.
I budgeted (well expected) a cost of about 7500-8000 pounds. Had I passed first time, the cost would have been £8000, plus the test fee which is now just over £700. The retest on the failed section meant half an hour of revision and 40 mins with the examiner, totalling £380 plus the retest fee of £470-off. Incidentally the rest cost more per flight hour than the original test fee!
So there would have not been much difference is cost between me doing a SE-CPL or a ME-CPL.
Flying is an expensive business, the more important thing is to listen, learn, repeat and have a good contingency in the bank.
