How does the FAA combine ratings on you cert

Recommended Posts

I'm curious if there an a published algorithm for how they do this. For instance my CP pilot certificate says...

"Airplane single engine land & sea; airplane multiengine land"

They could also have chosen

"Airplane multi & single engine land; airplane single engine sea"

If I get my MES will it say

"Airplane single & multi engine land & sea"?

Maybe I'll have to get the MES just to see what it says.

It sounds like more research (i.e. ratings) are required!!

I can tell you they list the type ratings alphabetically. I sure would like to add SES and Glider..... very hard to justify when caring for a Mooney takes time and money.

I thought about Glider too. Its easy to get it at the private level but a bit more work to add it to your commercial. I think any private priv always gets put on the very bottom.

Or could it be dependent on the order I got my certs since I got my commercial ASEL and ASES before my AMEL.

No mine is alphabetical order also...airplane single engine land and sea;Airplane Multiengine land;instrument Airplane;Rotercraft-Helicopter;Glider

Mine says, as follows... and not in the order earned-

Airline Transport Pilot

      Airplane multiengine land

Commercial privileges

      Airplane single engine land

 

I suppose the ATP multi confers commercial privileges- obviously that’s not the other way around for the SE or else they wouldn’t list “commercial privileges” below.  I do know that ATP confers an instrument rating (it is no longer written on your ticket- it is now assumed).  I guess the FAA has some sort of hierarchy they follow for listing ratings.

That’s exactly what mine says, at least they are consistent.

It’s kind of strange but the faa considers it you are still an atp in a single but just limited to commercial priv. This becomes an issue if you solo in say a helicopter. You’re still an atp pilot so the solo endorsement is different and some limitations like the solo expiration don’t apply.

They list "commercial privileges" for SE because your ATP certificate only has a multi engine rating. Get an ATP single rating and the separation will go away.

That's just as true for a private pilot, ASEL, who solos a helicopter. You are no longer a "student pilot" and 61.31(d) applies to solo flight in a new category or class, not  61.87 or 61.93.

The juice ain’t worth the squeeze for a single ATP for me.  Not many majors flying single engine at this point (maybe in the future??). but yes, you are correct.
