I am looking for the same information as you do at the moment.
My ME IR and my MEP expired in May this year.
I just phoned CAA today, who referred me to Lasors...
It looks like you can renew only your ME IR in FNPT II without renewing your MEP, if you do it before the ME IR expires. And it seems that airlines and TRTO ask only for ME IR, not MEP.
My problem is slightly different, as I let my ME IR expired, I have to do it all in the aircraft.
I have a question though : do I need additionnal training before my flight test, or, as Lasors states :
The candidate is also to show log book evidence that, in the period between initial and/or re-validation flight tests, he has successfully completed a let-down and approach to DH/MDH, a go-around and a missed approach procedure.
as I did some sim sessions this last year (with approaches, SIDs...), I do not need additionnal training ?
Thanks for those who could confirm this
