Questions :
If I have an expired IR-SE, can the first issue of the IR ME renew the IR-SE ?
If not, how can I revalidate or renew it ?
Thank you
No, the ME-IR does not renew the SE-IR.
You can renew/revalidate it 3 months after the expiration date with no extra training with a letter from an ATO explaining that your rating has expired for less than 3 months and then an exam flight with an FE. Up to a year after expiry, you have to do an assessment flight (at an ATO??) and then a examination flight with a FE. After one year post expiration, you need to do a refresher at an ATO with 5(?) flights and then exam flight with a FE. Not certain what the "outer" limit is, though
