Se-IR to Me-IR extension of priveleges

[portsharbourflyer]

I was going to say as the ME IR gives SE IR privileges under most NAAs then I thought it is only necessary for the SEP to be valid, not the SE IR at the time of the ME IR test.

If the SE IR is over 12 months and expired, then you would need to do training at an ATO and a test to renew it.

As an me IR test gives the SE IR privileges if the SEP is current, then does it not stand the me IR training still counts as the ATO training for the expired SE IR, therefore it stands the ME IR test does not require the SE IR to be current.

I know this will not be the case for all EASA naas.

Thoughts?
