So it’s a gamble that if you turn up that the examiner is oblivious to that detail and you slide through the cracks.
For the record there have been more than a few E3 pilots sent home to get their IPC current and come back to do their flight test and don’t told not to come back based on not having a current IPC.
So take the risk if you want to.
I must have been lucky then because my IPC wasn't current and it hadn't been a problem....twice!! The issue wasn't even raised.
