Hi Council. I think this is only for the ATPL license but not for the IR Examinations Which are only 7 exams as CAP 804 said. Is that correct?
FCL.625 IR(A) – Validity, revalidation and renewal
(a) Validity. An IR(A) shall be valid for 1 year.
(b) Revalidation
(1) An IR(A) shall be revalidated within the 3 months immediately preceding the
expiry date of the rating.
(2) Applicants who fail to pass the relevant section of an IR(A) proficiency check
before the expiry date of the IR(A) shall not exercise the IR(A) privileges until
they have passed the proficiency check.
(c) Renewal. If an IR(A) has expired, in order to renew their privileges applicants shall:
(1) go through refresher training at an ATO to reach the level of proficiency
needed to pass the instrument element of the skill test in accordance with
Appendix 9 to Part-FCL; and
(2) complete a proficiency check in accordance with Appendix 9 to Part-FCL, in
an aeroplane.
(d) If the IR(A) has not been revalidated or renewed within the preceding 7 years, the
holder will be required to pass again the IR theoretical knowledge examination and
