I hadn't flown for two years and was out of currency. I then got a job flying a A-340 however they needed 6 months validity left on my license. I went to Pro IFR in Boundary Bay and told them my situation. I just winged it and did an hour in their Frasca sim then did a ride in the Dutches. I figured if I failed that could be my practice session. I passed with no problem. They where totally understanding of my situation and ran the flight as mock two crew (I couldn't even start the engines). If you've got IFR experience and can fly, I'd suggest saving your cash go for the piston twin. It's fun, easy and slow.
