IMC test passed on S/E not valid on M/E?

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

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
