True. If it is a renewal or revalidation via Proficiency Check then the Flight Examiner would not be acting in an instruction role, so while holding FE requires a current FI, the roles are separate. This is a reasonably frequent issue when flying private/group aircraft, where the insurance may cover us while giving instruction to named pilots, but that is a different role to examining them. Many minefields!
