1) According to all the CAA paperwork I have looked at, the initial IMC / IR(R) Skill Test requires only one Approach to be tested - However a second (different) Approach must have been signed off, as satisfactory, by the Instructor, during the IMC course.
To save the Examiner from having to decline to test (as the course was not complete): I have always believed that if this second Approach has not been signed off, the candidate could still be tested - but would then be required to satisfactorily demonstrate two (different) Instrument Approaches to the Examiner during the actual Skill Test.
Can someone confirm whether, or not, this is the case and (please) provide a reference for their answer?
2) If only one Approach is tested during an IMC / IR(R) Initial Skill Test or Renewal/Revalidation Proficiency Check:
What do Examiners tend to put in the 2nd Approach Box on the Examiner Report Form - Nothing, "N/A", the date the second approach was completed to the satisfaction of an Instructor ...??
(I am thinking that, especially for Initial Skill Test, the CAA wants to see that the Examiner has checked that all requirements for Rating Issue have been met)
