Any references to eliminating the requirement to have a flt test every yr to maintain your Command Inst rating and replace it with recency requirements prior to using it ( if you are not flying regularly) and if you do not do that then to have an Instrument proficiency flt with an instructor like they do in the US???

This competency flt is like an instrument flt review not a check ride with a pass /fail outcome.
The cost of maintaining a ME CIR constantly when not flying but looking for work is extremely expensive.
in the old days it was even worse with a renewal test evey 6 mo for those who remember back to the 80s.
