Cheapest ME-IR Revalidation
The cheapest way is probably to go back the FTO where you did your initial training. You should be familiar with the a/craft/sim, procedures and routes.
That will far outweigh going somewhere that is marginally cheaper per hr but having to spend more time getting up to speed.
Also, to cut the costs, do lots of 'arm-chair' flying. Refamiliarise yourself with checks, procedures radio calls etc. so that when you jump back in the sim or a/craft, it's second nature.

Thats what I did.

Just wondering about the twinstar, those that have done an initial MEP on a twinstar still need to do difference training for a three lever control conventional twin. Therefore if your initial was in a conventional twin (eg; seneca, dutchess) and then you renew the MEP rating on a twinstar, does this still renew your MEP privileges for a conventional twin?

Interesting point. I dont think or at least I hope I wouldnt have to go back to differences training again. I fly a cirrus aswell as non glass cockpit singles and I havent had to do more training each time I changed types. I presume(a bad thing to do sometimes) that if I wanted to hire either a DA42 or a convetional twin at a new school it would require a check ride either way.

Lasors states that differences training on sep is valid for ever. On a twin it is valid for two years, you then have to do a proficiency check with an instructor.
