Do I need to do a separate flight for an IR check? I know for the multi it says 2 approaches, but can I combine that with say - X-C test by night?
I'm pretty sure the IR check can't be combined with with X-C night check. For example, do you think you'll be allowed to do your IR check ride and CPL check ride in one flight in the US? Nope.
Is that required on both the single and multi?
Depends on whether you want a single engine IR or a multi engine IR in India. Multi IR is the safest bet in my opinion. So 2 approaches on a twin would do it.
In my case I'm trying to be on the safer side. I'm renewing my Australian IR so that DGCA will have no reason to refuse my application.
Also, do I have to fill up the form that says Pilot Profiency Check/IR check and tick only 2 approaches on the multi appropriate on that form? I ask since there are lot of other stuff on that form.
Just tick the options that are applicable to you. And remember to print the form on your flying school's letterhead.
Good luck
