I cannot find anything in the Aircrew Regulation which states that such the content of CRI refresher training is at the discretion of an FIC instructor. Moreover, although the good guys would doubtless have some form of well-structured in-house policy, the system could be open to abuse by the smartarses; "Let's bog off somewhere for lunch and I'll give you your 3-yearly CRI revalidation tick on the way there and back - we can always say that we were refreshing 'the avoidance of infringements' to keep the CAA happy!".....
