Default Licensing question

Anybody would have the knowledge or a contact to ask questions on adding a single engine rating to an existing atp multiengine ? I sent several emails to the FAA and got no answer.
PM me if you do.
Thanks.

Go talk to the guys at the flight school at KOCF and they can tell you what it would take.

Default Well...

...there's a question you don't hear every day!

Curious minds are wondering the circumstances, if you care to share.

I lnew a couple of guys doing the same thing a while back. They were ex-military and flew multiengine aircraft from day one (T-37, T-38, B-52, etc., then airliners).

If you want an ATP single engine you will need to take an ATP check ride in a single. You could also take a commercial check ride in a single and get a single engine commercial since there isn't much advantage to a single engine ATP. Most airline people I know that came from a civilian flying background have a single engine commercial and a multi engine ATP.

Download a copy of the latest PTS (sorry, they just changed the name for the private, I forget what it's called now). In the front there's a chart that answers your question. You will have to decide if you want private, commercial, or ATP privileges single engine land.

Depending on what your needs are, a private or commercial single engine add-on should be pretty easy. Find a good, knowledgeable CFI, and press on!

I worked with a pilot for several years that had come out of the Navy with a Commercial/Instrument AMEL, but had never gotten the ASEL. He got his ATP AMEL after leaving the military, but just never got a single engine rating at all. Not that unusual for ex-military pilots.

Nova is right, you have to take the ATP check ride in a single engine aircraft.

It seems that if I bust the checkride, can't fly 121 anymore. Not willing to take that chance.
I need to know... if I take a private pilot checkride, can I fly IFR ?
