lifting MEIR endorsement
I can confirm that certain examiners can lift the endorsement which then gives you a MEIR. It is a flight test with such an examiner and does not involve the nice people at ASL.
My reference for this is the flight examiner who is going to lift my endorsement at some stage......
As stated in an earlier post within the thread ASL have to do the initial IFR issue whether it is single or multi, once they have their $500.00 or so from you they lose interest in your wallet and allow a more experienced and no doubt reasonable examiner to complete the task...
