Sorry, not quite - Appendix 6 to FCL Annex 1 refers, specifically Aa(8) which exempts a candidate with an Part-FCL PPL/CPL and a valid ICAO IR(A) with 50 hours PIC IFR on aeroplanes from both theoretical and flight instruction elements. This therefore refers to a CBIR - the candidate therefore gains an IR, with the restriction that their TK has only been demonstrated to CB exam level by verbal and practical demonstration, therefore no HPA.
