So to me what Phoinix concludes with "TRI(H) + IR(H) = IRI(H) on type" actually makes sense.
PPP,
I think that you might still be getting your wires crossed and, if it really concerns you, I think that you'd be best to get clarification on this matter from your aviation authority (is it the CAA?)
My understanding is that an IRI is still needed to convert an SE IR(H) to a ME IR(H). The way I see it is that a TRI can train you (or 'effect') a TR which is on your licence. However, bearing in mind that an IR is obviously a separate rating (although normally 'tied' to an aircraft type), an IRI is needed in order to train for it or 'effect' it, so to speak.
However, my disclaimer is that I am neither an IRI nor a TRI so please don't take my word as gospel. I can, if you want though, have a word with one of the TRIs when I back into work on Monday to see if their priviliges extend as far as converting a SE IR(H) to a ME IR(H).
Edited to add: Doh. I probably should have read rotarywise's post before I replied.
He covers this issue here:
