Instrument Rating Renewal issues
Does anyone know what the deal is with testing officers requirements and Instrument Rating Renewals? A friend of mine recently did a renewal and the testing officer made him do a SID (in the SIM) with 5 minutes prior notice to prepare.
I may have the same guy for my upcoming renewal. Now I'm not worried about doing a SID, I am just curious if it is written anywhere that a testing officer can do this sort of thing, or as a person paying for a service I can say 'no - if its not a requirement of this Test then I'm not doing it thank you very much'.
Any thoughts would be appreciated.
