Was looking at Dyncorp Cal Fire tanker requirements and says 800 AMEL with no more than 400 centerline thrust. Years ago, if a fighter mil guy had multi engine on FAA cert, it was limited to centerline thrust. That restriction has since been lifted and guys that fly F-18, F-15 etc now can get a multi with no restrictions.
In regards to applying for a tanker position or as a Cal Fire pilot with only military fighter experience, does Dyncorp still view fighters as centerline thrust? Because let’s be honest, regardless of what the FAA says, it’s basically centerline thrust. Can fighter time out weigh lack of true asymmetric multi time?
