Have you searched the ATO Private Binding Rulings database ?
Often the outcome to the answer is how the question is posed, and what you did before you asked to the question to get he answer you want.
For example, I am a CPL holder with an instrument rating which requires a number of instrument approaches, takeoff and and landings day and night, and and annual renewal test by a CASA delegate for me to fly passengers. CASA regulations stipulate that the renewal must be in either an aircraft, or an approved simulator, synthetic trainer and specifies the time intervals these are required.
Can I request a Private Binding Ruling on an instrument rating renewal to regain my recency requirements for takeoffs, landings, approaches and my instrument rating in accordance with the new part 61.
You will be able to show the ATO records where you completed day/night takeoffs and landings, instrument 2D/3D approach proficiency, and the instrument rating renewal.
You will have to keep records consistent with the Private Binding Ruling.
