Sorry for the basic question - can someone with good knowledge of the regs help me out here.
I am an active pilot in the US - 6,000+ hours, ATP, Captain and Check Airman (Training Captain). I hold a JAA CPL and have passed the written ATPs. However my JAA instrument rating expired way back in 2003 and I have a note from the IAA that says that if I do not renew my IR before next year I will lose my ATP writtens credit.
Hmmm - so what can I do?
1. IR refresher course and renewal is one.
2. I was thinking of getting a 737 type or something as that would be something new and potentially useful. Would this work to renew my IR?
3. Take an ATP flight test? We have this in the US is there such a thing in Europe.
Any help on the best way to proceed would be appreciated.
