I guess so. I guess that is not so common to have “pure” IRI(A) people. Most of them come from FI and onwards. Interesting that I did not make it more clear in the rule.
Ok, that is my understanding as well. Otherwise the IFR- and IFR-instruction requirements in FCL.1010 would not make sense, as you cannot even get an IRI(A) with those. Let’s see if my CAA agrees when the time comes…
Certainly in the UK an FI with (g) privileges is equivalent I understand
For adding IR examination privileges to a CRE(A) rating or for getting a standalone IRE(A), FCL.1005 and FCL.1010 require, among other things, an IRI(A):
FCL.1010.IRE IRE — Prerequisites
Is an FI-IR rating equivalent in this case or is there really a “hard” requirement for an IRI(A)? The regs do not make this clear, unfortunately.
