ATP/Single-Engine Question

[gulfstream2345]

The ATP multi has nothing to do with a single engine rating. It is possible, but unlikely, that a person with an ATP multi doesn't have a single engine rating. However, the answer to your question is that the ratings and limitations are stated on the pilot certificate. If there is not a commercial single engine rating then he could not fly one for hire.

Actually, it's not all that unlikely. I have a frined with a milti-engine ATP but no single engine priveliges. He flew transports in the Air Force and got his pilot certificate based on that. I think there's quite a few guys out there in the same boat.

And when you add all those guys up they are still well into the minority.

Well yes, If you insist on arguing a point that nobody in has made, yes, they are likely less that 50% of the total pilot population, therefore are "in the minority", so you win that round against...ummmm..nobody. Congratulations

The statement was made earlier that it was "unlikely" to have that situation, and it is not at all unlikely. There are a whole bunch of former military aviators in the civillian community, many of whom have never flown single engine aircraft. And many of those have never taken the time to go to a flight school and add a single engine rating because they aren't interested in recreational flying, and the segment of commercial aviation they are in does not opertate single engine aircraft. Yes they are in the minority, overall, but it's far from an unlikely scenario.
