Personally, I have dealing with this issue for a long time. Within the EASA member countries, there are a few ways, how to explain this. And unfortunately, differen CAA, different explanation.
- CAA UK - I have been asked to split MEP and IR-ME skill tests into 2 separate tests, same in Hungary, Slovakia, France,...
- few other authorities - like Belgium, Czech republic, etc, they accept the skill test for MEP and IR-ME as 1 skill test
There is no direct rule for such issue!
