ATP/Single-Engine Question

[landlover]

You have no idea. If you had seen my talent, you wouldn't post such blather.

Thanks for the advice, even though you couldn't just answer the question. Would've made the whole thing easier if you had just said "no" instead of trying to play CFI.

Aloha.

RJP, what you've just wrote is one of the most insanely idiotic things I have ever read. At no point in your rambling, incoherent response were you even close to anything that could be considered a rational thought. Everyone on this forum is now dumber for having listened to it. I award you no points, and may God have mercy on your soul.

If you review some of his other posts, it's par for the course when it comes to this poster. Routine drivel.

I got my ATP SEL last year,... just for grins. I don't really think I'll ever "need" it, but I just had to have it.

I didn't know you could get an ATP-Mel on MS Flight Simulator. Or did your friend get his ATP-Mel on Playstation? I would hope most ATPs know how to read their own certificates and know their limitations. Maybe when you are going for your real Private Pilot certificate AvBug could teach you. A Lot!

The owner of the Cheyenne I used to fly also had a C210 and he got his SE ATP so he could get a break on his insurance. Not sure if that would still be the case today but it was then.

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.
