FE(A) IMCr/IR(R) Privileges
Given the almost bastardy status of the IMCr/IR(R), does a FE(A) require IR/IMC instructional privileges to test for the IMCr/IR(R), as opposed to simply holding an IMCr/IR
Looked at both CAP 804 and FCL 1010 and they don't appear to address the issue. Apols in advance if I have missed something obvious, apprciate any comments

It has always been the case that to Examine for a privilege, you must be qualified to teach for that privilege.
FCL.1000 Examiner certificates
(a) General. Holders of an examiner certificate shall:
(1) hold an equivalent licence, rating or certificate to the ones for which they are authorised to conduct skill tests, proficiency checks or assessments of competence and the privilege to instruct for them;

Not to mention the fact that as FE you must also have testing privileges for the IMCr. It is not embedded in the FE. You can't get the IMCr testing privileges on the FE unless you have the teaching privileges.......
The old UK FE Authorisation Certificates used to specifically include the IMCr if you were so Authorised, but the new EASA FE Certificate does not, so I can see how the question may arise. My old certificate says I can do it, the latest one doesn't!

My latest EASA one does. Specifically states IMCr and IR(Restricted) on it. So do our other examiners.
I would check to make sure you have not lost it in the transition!

Which takes us back to the original question and the answer is no you can't test, unless you specifically have IMCr privileges stated in the FE you can't test for the IMCr. To gain those privileges is actually an extra day on the FE course or in my case came off the back of doing the IRE and was applied to the FE as well.
I had a few mistakes on my licence as well. I think being an early adopter left them unsure how to enter something's. For example my IR was entered as IR SPA NonHPCA when it should have been entered as IR SPA ME Class.
IR got missed off two type ratings as well. Took awhile to sort.

Am I right in thinking that IMC/IR(R) training will cease to exist after the 8th April 2014, or are talks still going on between the CAA and EASA? I've been looking at the CAA websites for an answer, but I'm too tired to spend all evening looking for answers.

I've read, and hopefully understand this...
http://www.caa.co.uk/docs/2330/Revis...2012%20_v3.pdf
My next question is that if somebody started their IMC training whilst holding a JAR PPL, but has subsequently already converted to an EASA PPL, then can they still apply for an IR(R) to be added to their licence? I have a chap who just needs to take and pass his IMC written examination.
Following on from this...if somebody has just finished their PPL training and has been issued with an EASA PPL, then can they still add an IR(R) onto their licence before the 8th April 2014? I'm guessing that they can't.

IMC Rating - Current Situation (March 2013)
Paragraph three appears to imply that people should be able to train towards an IR(R) up until April 2014. They should be able to add the rating to their EASA licence...I think.

According to AOPA it looks like the IMCr is going to get a 5 year reprieve.
