IMC Training

Can a non UK EASA IRI give training for the IMC (IR(R)) rating that would be acceptable by the UK CAA for issue of the rating?

If you could quote references it would be helpful.

Based on the premise that you've got to have it to teach it, I think I already know the answer...

I am not sure that is correct.
The CAA will approve an EASA Examiner to conduct an IMC revalidation. I did mine in Spain 3 years ago. So training would be even less of a problem I would have thought.

Another example of the ineptitude of the CAA who neither understand nor comply with their own rules

4 Instructors Wishing to Teach for the IMC Rating/IR(R)

4.1 Commission Regulation No. 1178/2011, Article 4 (d) requires that the CAA specifies credits that are to be permitted in relation to Part-FCL Annex I requirements for those wishing to instruct for the IMC Rating/IR(R).

4.2 Part-FCL Annex I states which instructor certificates are required to teach for the Instrument Rating (IR(A)). On that basis, the following will be considered competent to deliver instruction for the IMC Rating/IR(R):

a) The holder of a valid Part-FCL Flight Instructor Certificate
issued by the UK CAA who can teach for the Instrument Rating (where FCL.905.FI(g) is endorsed within their licence); or

b) The holder of a valid Part-FCL Instrument Rating Instructor Certificate issued by the UK CAA.

The instructors must also hold the appropriate aeroplane class or type rating.

5.2 Only examiners who hold licences, ratings and certificates issued by the UK CAA may examine for the IMC Rating/IR(R).
Quite clear to anyone who can read, if they know where to look!

What is even more ironic is that I used to teach for it when I had a UK licence but, now teaching ME IR off an Irish licence isn't good enough anymore!

Hey ho! Don't think I'm missing much.
