on the subject or re-validating an IR. Having pased your IR and maybe started on the road of instructing to build hours, earn money or whatever, is it worth revaliding the IR.
Surely if you get an offer from an employer they will need to get you a type rating (and lets not let this get into the argument about whether an emplyer should pay for your type rating) for the aircraft you are being hired to fly.
Does this type rating not also renew your IR. If so is there any point in blowing the best part of £700 for the renewal (assuming that's how much it costs) + whatever prep you feel you need to do (potentially another £300).
Maybe naively I assumed that an employer would be happy with the fact that you once managed to complete your IR (assuming you didn't let it lapse about three years previously of course
)
