Might just resurrect this thread with a question for everyone - seeing as it was originally about instrument rating renewals.
I have a PIFR(SE) which is not current, however I have done a MECIR renewal in the last 12 months but due to it being summer have not logged sufficient instrument time for the MECIR to be current.
Firstly, given PIFR has a 24 month validity, is it renewed by passing the MECIR test or renewal?
Can I go for a private blat about the skies to get MECIR current again? Could I do this in a twin or a single?
PS I am not asking because I know the answers. Genuinely don't know, especially the interaction of PIFR(SE) and MECIR. The rules don't say that for a MECIR to be current the instrument flying must be done in a multi engine, only the renewal. Am I right?
