Type Rating Question
 

A fellow pilot at the local airport mentioned something to me the other day and I cannot find any information confirming or denying that it is possible. He said that if you get your multi-engine add-on in a jet, then you will automatically get typed in it. So for example, say someone has 500 hours total time, 400 PIC, private pilot SEL with an instrument rating and high altitude endorsement. And lets say they do their multi-engine add-on training in a Citation I. After they complete their checkride, would they also get an unrestricted type rating in that aircraft?

See 14 CFR 61.31. The applicant would also be required to have a high altitude endorsement. The applicant would have to pass a Private Pilot, Additional Rating, AMEL practical test. That test would include a CE-500 type rating, which will need to be performed to ATP (yes that is a fact) PTS Standards.

Generally speaking, with those ratings and flight time you would likely be so far behind the jet you wouldn't have to worry about getting hurt in the wreck.

I agree. I was just using that as an example of a possibility if the pilot was actually capable of doing it.

I've looked over 14 CFR 61.31 several times, but cannot find this particular situation described. Am I overlooking it?

In this situation, the pilot has a high altitude endorsement.

How did I do it in an F-100 in the weather? Depends on the training.

Okay, spoon feeding one reg at a time. Check out 61.63

In order to be PIC in a jet you have to have a type rating in it. The way to think of it is if you get a type rating you will also get the class rating.

Of course it depends on the training, and the student. You also know Mil training is vastly different from civilian. I answered based on the Civilian POV.

Thanks for "spoon feeding" me. It's easier to reference part of a reg when it's the correct reference, isn't it?
