Got a license/type rating question. I’ll try to give the Reader’s Digest version of the ramp up to the question.
Many years ago, pre-1500-hour rule but post-Part 121-SIC-type rating required, a guy gets a DHC-8 rating on his CPL with this limitation: “DHC-8 SIC PRIVILEGES ONLY”.
He later moves on and down the road gets a full ATPL, to which the DHC-8 rating is transferred, with a few other type ratings but the DHC-8 rating still carries the above limitation.
So the question: Is there a way to have that SIC limitation removed via FAA paperwork or is a full sim rating ride required ?
I’ve seen FAR Part 61.64(g) which mentions something perhaps related to my question but I’m not sure it’s exactly the same situation.
I tried to find an FAA interpretation on this but couldn’t.
Any official, documented wisdom on this ?
[yes, I tried the forum search function]
