Say you get your PP-ASEL, then you get PP-AMEL, then you get IR, in a Multiengine airplane. Does your License say:
PP-ASEL
PP-AMEL-IA
Or:
PP-ASEL
PP-AMEL
IA
The underlying question is dont you have to do a checkride in both categories and classes to be able to file with both? Or am i just retarded and confused? (dont answer that...
)
There are only three instrument ratings: Instrument Airplane, Instrument Helicopter, and Instrument Powered Lift (good luck getting that one). So, the ticket will have the latter option.
If you read the Private Pilot PTS, section 2 for Airplane Multiengine Land, Area V tasks B, C and D (engine failure under the hood, approach with all engines, approach OEI) are what an instrument rated pilot needs to demonstrate on a multi checkride. If these are not demonstrated, page 2-12 says:
Private Pilot PTS said:
NOTE: For applicants electing not to demonstrate competency in TASKS B, C, and D, multiengine privileges will be limited to VFR only.
Now, the question was somewhat different... PP-ASEL, PP-AMEL, IA in that order. In the Instrument PTS, Area VII tasks B and C (OEI during straight and level and turns, and OEI approach) relate to the multi, and the intro says:
Instrument PTS said:
To obtain an instrument rating with multiengine privileges, an applicant must demonstrate competency in a multiengine airplane not limited to center thrust.
So, there it is. Option B. The ticket should say:
Private Pilot
Airplane Single and Multiengine Land
Instrument Airplane
And the pilot can file and fly IFR in both single and multiengine airplanes.
Gack, I found references! I should start working on MY CFI now. Sorry Ed.
