Having recently retired from airline flying I am slowly getting to grips with adjusting my licence and ratings to GA flying. I hold an UK issued EASA ATPL(A)/CPL(A)/PPL(A) with Class 1 medical and have moved my old SEP(Land) back onto the front page. The other ratings on the front page are 'Big Airbusses' (not a lot of use anymore!) Night and Instrument.
I don't particularly want to retain a full IR but an IR(R) could be useful. The question is what do I need to do to get there? Presumably an Airbus IR/LV/PBN does not count? I am comfortable with flying SEP imc including all the approaches and limited panel etc; am I credited with the exams as an ATPL holder? Last did those about 30 years ago I have more day/night/imc/vmc hours than I care to admit to.
Having always had a friendly Examiner and Training Dept to sort this out I am now a bit in the dark! Any pointers - this must be a well worn path?
