VALIDITY
An Instrument Rating (Aeroplane) is valid for a
period of 12 months.
RE-VALIDATION OF AN IR(A)
A Single-Engine (Aeroplane) Instrument Rating will
be revalidated by proficiency check.
A Multi-Engine (Aeroplane) Instrument Rating will
be revalidated by proficiency check at the same
time as revalidation of a ME Type/Class rating.
RENEWAL OF AN IR(A)
Where an Instrument Rating has expired by less
than 5 years and IR privileges have not been
exercised in any other category of aircraft (e.g.
helicopters) or under the privileges of an ICAO
licence, a proficiency check will be required.
This is taken out of the current LASORS.
Can anybody explain the ramifications of the following scenario:
I have an FAA (ICAO) IR and I also have a JAR IR.
My JAR IR has expired by 6 months.
I have just made my FAA IR current by flying 6 approaches etc, etc.
The renewal part says that I WOULD require a proficiency check if my JAR license has expired (by less than 5 years) and I HAVEN'T exercised "IR" privileges using an ICAO license.
My question is that in my case I would have exercised IR privileges using an ICAO license. Does that mean that my JAR does NOT require a proficiency check.
Cheers,
FIS.
