I am following up a comment in the Wanabees forum, as it seems more appropriate here.

"The IMC rating now has to be renewed on a Twin if it is to be valid on a Twin"
I understood that previously an IMC test on a S/E was valid for a M/E, even though IMHO, this seemed most illogical & out of line with the rules for the IR.
I have read the CAA GID No 15, & I cannot see any reference, that answers my question. It does state that if the revalidation test is on a M/E aircraft, then it must include the section on
Flight with Asymmetirc Power (which seems logical)
As this may affect a lot of PPLs, can anyone give us the definitive answer, please?
PS: Since gaining my M/E rating, I have done the IMC renewals on a twin, 'cos its easier with full Airways avionics & an HSI
.... & 'cos it is far too scary flying singles in IMC
