Yes they would for the first question. Yes as well for the second question. For the third question: who cares whether the UK Offshore operators recognizes it or not? Once you hold a single engine IR you are then able to upgrade it to a multi engine IR once you complete a ME type rating, so that is 8 hours plus 5 hours versus 55 hours of instrument instruction of which 10 need to be on a Twin (On top of the 8 hours you need anyways for the type rating provided you have never flown a Twin before) Does this need that much more debate?
