EASA IR (restricted)
My buddy has just put a new rating on his UK ATPL, this has triggered the issue of an EASA licence. The EASA licence includes as an expired rating an IR(r). Effectively losing the IMC rating that was formerly contained within the UKATPL. Not sure why the rating was listed as expired as obviously it was current on the UKATPL. Speculation suggests that it was because there was no test date.
I am about to renew my UK ATPL as it expires in December and would very much like to keep my IMC rating or a valid IR(r). Anyone got any suggestions of the best way of achieving this
