+1 For Martin Sims from me too. Done my FAA to EASA CPLH conversion with him in Fort Pierce, FL, very knowledgeable guy, excellent instructor. He does all the EASA skills tests for Bristow in Titusville btw.
I'm not sure though about the EASA-IR checkrides of any sort on a piston. FAA, sure. EASA won't allow this, I'm pretty sure.
But get in touch with him
