IR to IMC

[Craggenmore]

I have read LASORS but here is my question!

My UK issued JAR-FCL SPA IR lapsed Summer 2005.

As I understand it, I can apply to the CAA to have an IMC rating added (for £76) onto my CPL (A) which will become valid for 25 months from the date of my initial IR test (Summer 2004,) which would therefore make it valid for a further 6 months or so from todays date.

Have I understood correctly, and if so, is this addition possible?

Many thanks

Craggs.
