To undertake the MEIR Skills Test an applicant must either already hold, or be qualified by virtue of having passed the relevant Skills Test, for the issue of a ME Class Rating. The CPL Skills Test, if done on a twin, counts as being qualified for the issue of a ME Class Rating. Having merely done the course but not the Skills Test does not count. Very recently a MEIR had to be cancelled on the advice of a CAA examiner because the applicant did not have a ME Class Rating
