UK IR(H) extension to new types

[SFIM]

Hi Guys,

As i understand it you either have an instrument rating or you dont (obvious eh!), but also they are type specific

so if you want to extend your instrument rating to a new type you have to do additional training and another IR test on the new type (5 hours total??)

so my question is, lets say you have an IR on a multi pilot helicopter like an AS332L and you wanted to extend it to a single pilot helicopter like an AS355, does it make any difference if it is your first single pilot type compared to someone else who already had a both a single and a multi pilot type on their licence already?

JAR, dont you just love it !!!!
