Thanks for your reply but I don’t understand why you would revalidate the IR without associating it with a class/type. If I am not mistaken I need to have valid ME-IR on my license when starting a type rating course which I could only have if I have had revalidated the ratings in an actual ME aircraft or ME apprived sim. My problem is that after doing the revalidation in a fntp II sim, I am stuck with only IR valid and I cannot have the license printed untill I renew the mep now since the rating is lapsed.
