I understand the initial FI test is Spain is a test of your ability to pass a LPC form of test flying from the RHS. Spinning? What spinning consists of is probably your ability to get the prop to spin (i.e. get the engine started) As for renewals - I have heard that even an IR renewal is just a paper work exercise as long as you have some logbook evidence that you have allegedly flown some IF in the last year, so I guess the FI renewal will be based on the same parameters. However, that may all have changed since EASA have recently been doing some investigation into the failure to carry out tests according to the EASA/JAA schedule by Spanish FTO's.
