Yeah, but as i happen to know both examiners who could have been yours on your IR, i can tell you one is extremely easy going, and the other one probably didn't have a clue himself
I agree totally with
B200Drvr;
What
14CFR61.39 says is that you need a medical for the practical test. However, for training, you can fly on your foreign medical. I would even go asfar as saying that since there is no solo flying required for the instrument training, you don't need any medical at all for the instrument training, providing the instructor has a valid medical. As i posted in your
other thread, if you can get someone to do something differently, make sure you get it in writing, or call the examiner beforehand, and see if he has a problem with it. Always cover yourself.
