single pilot A/C instrument rating

hi guys !

At the moment I am training for a A320 type rating . I am due to finish in a couple of weeks ( great !! ).

here is my question :

The JAR-FCL says that you need a Valid Multiengine instrument rating to start the training for a JAR25 Type rating A/C . ok !

Mine was still current at the time I started the course but is now lapsed ( 1 month time ) ... I wonder if the CAA would issue a A320 type rating on my licence anyway or would they require a renewal of my SPA IR ( single pilot A/C Instrument rating ) prior to that ??

I would like to avoid renewing my SPA IR to save money ... I am sure you understand !! lol

In my TRTO , no one seems to know ... may be you guys could help ?

thanks in advance !

cheers !

The reason you need the rating is to indicate that you have the relevant experience to commence the course. It does not have to be valid.

thanks for the info !!

I let you know if you re right !

cheers
