Not logged IR more than 2 years, going for conversion to EASA
Asked by: nine 1958 views FAA Regulations, Instrument Rating
Hello,
As per 61.57, i clearly need a IPC. But, the dilemma is...
I am going to attend a FAA CPL ME IR conversion to a EASA(UK) CPL ME IR. The conversion process includes IR training in SIM(ALSIM200) and in ME (BE76) aircraft. At the end of the conversion course, i will go through a skill test (practical test) on the BE76, to be tested against the EASA ME IR standards.
(i) Do i have to be FAA IR current before starting the conversion?
(ii) If required to be current, can the IPC be done on an approved simulator?
Please advice if there are any other possible work-arounds if FAA IR has to be current, as i am financially tight.
