It was an ATO that initially assigned one of their CRI’s - advised to renew SEP, do paperwork to cover RT, then send off all together for license with rating. Have the medical already.
Then after one flight and checking paperwork, said CRI couldn’t teach on an unconverted expired JAR license, had to be a full FI because it’s a license lapse not a rating lapse.
Incidentally I have a lapsed IMC. Do you know if I’ll be able to carry it over to the EASA license incase I want to renew at a later date? Or is it gone now there’s an IR(R)? I’m doing a bit of catching up......
(thanks for the helpful replies btw)
