Rank question?

[Bramage]

This is the first time where im playing in economy mode and starting out as a student pilot. Right no i am 2:30 hours from getting C3 or
the Intrument Qualified Pilot. Now after i get that, am i able to fly multi-engined aircraft or just still single prop till C4?

C0-C2 is single engine only as far as I know (I'm C2 right now with more than enough points for C3, but lacking enough flying hours).

C3 should allow you to fly twin engine up to a certain weight (I think it's around 5500lbs).

I'm aiming at flying the Cessna P-34 Seneca II and/or the Beechcraft Duke once I hit C3. I'm going to also try buying the Cessna Caravan
208T. Thing is, if you have no pilots certified to fly an aircraft then FSPassengers won't let you buy it. So basically you can just try to buy the
aircraft once you rank up, and if it won't let you then try again next rank.

You can also look up your pilot info in-game, and click on the FSPRank info button at the bottom of the window to see the requirements for
each rank and also what and how many engines the certification allows as well as max weight on aircraft you can fly.

My aircraft "route" is going to be:

1) Cessna 172
2) Cessna Seneca / Beechcraft Duke
3) Cessna Caravan
4) ATR-72-500 (but might go for a junior airliner like Learjet or Beechcraft King Air
5) ... not decided yet.. want to get warm with the ATR-72-500 first

Also, another tip if you want to make cash with the smaller aircraft... don't do normal flights from A to B... Do the Tours where you do a
round-trip and land at same base you departed from. I've found the income to be x5 higher, or even more, for same time invested when I
do a tour instead of a flight from A to B.
