IR/E Question
A question for any IR examiners out there.
In the aero club bar last night and a debate started about IR renewals. As there wasn't any IR/I's or IR/E's about, nobody could give a definite answer to the following question ,so any help would be appreciated as there is a barrel of beer in it for me if I can get the answer before anyone else.
If someone who holds a ME/IR does an IR renewal on a single engine aeroplane, what is needed, if he or she then wants to upgrade to a ME/IR again. The general concenus was that it would just be an asymetric ILS with a circle to land as everything else would have been covered. Bearing in mind that the ME rating is current. I wasn't so sure.....
I hope the question is clear enough and any help would greatly improve by beer intake for the next few weeks. Thanks

An IR revalidation conducted on a SE aeroplane is only valid on a S/E aeroplane; in order to exercise the privileges on a M/E aeroplane you will have to pass a revalidation test on a M/E aeroplane; there are no credits for having a valid S/E IR.

Whopity,
Many thanks.I thought as much. I suggested something along those lines in my argument but was shot down in flames by the old timers who prop up the bar.
Fantastic, barrel of beer on the way for me Saturday.
Cheers again.

I think they are referring to the old UK National system where if you did a S/E IR you only had to do the differences to upgrade to M/E IR provided it was within 6 months. All changed ages ago.
