qualified in a single-seat, single-engine operational jet?

He also has a single- and multi-engine "commercial" rating from the

That's the "military competence" provision. If you receive a military
pilot rating, you can go down to the local FAA office and complete a
short exam on FARs. They give you a commercial rating single and
multi-engine (C/L thrust) and instrument rating. No check flights
required. If you can show a form five (or whatever the time log is
now) qualification in an airplane with separated engines they'll take
off the C/L limitation and even issue a type rating. I've got Convair
240/340/440 on mine since I was forced to checkout in the T-29.

I had to wait until I got NATOPS qualed in a multi engine A/C before I could
get the 'multi' part. I knew some guys that were A-4 and A-7 pilots that got a
single engine commercial only.

I got my multiengine non centerline thrust part when I flew the Turkey...had a
multi/C/L thrust from the F-4...
