CFI Renewal.
It is indeed at the discretion of the inspector but most of them would want to see some instruction being done not just a type ride.
I know of a CFI re-instatment being done on a Falcon 900 while the applicant was giving a new F/O his required landings after initial simulator qualification.
But, take the paperwork, all completed, with you and ask the guy nicely. It cannot hurt. As already stated it is up the the inspectors discretion.
