Jhieminga I know the USA situation but what about other JAR states?
UK:
IR-SPA-ME (JAR-speak for Instrument Rating-Single Pilot Aircraft-MultiEngine) gives all IR privileges to SEP provided your SEP rating is valid as well.
But it gives nothing for multi-crew aircraft, nor does a multi-crew IR give anything in single-pilot operations. (Logically)
Single-engine IR's do not automatically confer any additional privileges in MEPs at all - not even IMC-rating-equivalent status.
Bizzare as that sounds (the last bit) if you have an IMC rating, obtained by flying the IMC test in a single, that does give you IMC rated privileges in an MEP without a re-test/upgrade.
