That is great news thank you for the information. The problem is here in the Netherlands it's hard to find an N-registered A/C and find a CFII to renew my instrument.
I haven't flown IR for more than 24 months actually.
Since I am moving to Canada and I actually don't need my IR right away so my thought process is to convert my CPL first and then find a CFII instructor there and renew my IR
