IMC-R renewal 2013
Sorry to jump on the thread and apologies for doubtlessly missing the detail elsewhere, but could the experts advise me about my IMC-R renewal please?
My IMC-R expires March 2013.
Can I renew it with the same examininer that tested me for the initial? He isn't a full IR examiner.
Can I do the revalidation prior to the rating expiring? If yes, how long in advance and do I lose / waste the remaining time, or is the date extended from the date of the current rating expiring?
Will the renewal test be the same as it was for the IMC-R?
Will I then get an IR(R)?
Will this be valid for 25 months?
Will that be the time that I will need to convert my JAA licence to an EASA one?
Are there any gotchas that I need to worry about?
Thanks in advance for your help.
