I know ME IR and MEP don't have anything to do with each other.
I'll put it simple. I don't need MEP. I'm not flying, I just want to have the minimum requirements to apply to a company or to start a TR. Normally what they ask is CPL, ATPL theory and ME IR basically.
I'd like to revalidate ME IR for one more year and spend the least amount of money possible. If in the next year I don't get a job I'll apply for a TR on my own and I'll revalidate IR along with the TR. I'm tired of waiting. Anyway...
What the UK CAA authorizes apparently the Portuguese CAA doesn't. I want to revalidate the ME IR for one more year and let the MEP expire. What they are saying in Portugal is that if I let the MEP expire, the ME IR will expire automatically together.
That’s why I’m asking if any of you have on your licence an expiration date of ME IR after the MEP.
