Re-validation
The IMC Rating will be re-validated by revalidation Flight Test, and will comprise of the following items from the IMC Initial Flight Test;

• Limited Panel Instrument Flying. (i.e. assuming failure of the gyroscopic pitch and bank indicator and the gyroscopic direction indicator): Straight and level flight, climbing and descending, turns onto given headings, recovery from unusual attitudes.
• Let-down and Approach Procedures. Let down and approach to Decision Height, and missed approach procedure using a pilot-interpreted aid, carry out a recognised instrument approach procedure to decision height, thence the appropriate go-around and missed approach procedure.
• Bad weather Circuits. Bad weather circuit and landing following a let down, position the aircraft in the circuit at the direction of the Examiner, to carry out a visual bad weather circuit and landing under specified simulated weather conditions.
• The type of approach aid used must be entered in the log book.

The candidate is also to show logbook evidence that in the period between initial and/or revalidation flight tests, he has successfully completed a let-down and approach to DH/MDH, a go-around and a missed approach procedure, using an aid of a different type from that used during item the Let down / approach procedure of the test. This shall be accomplished to the satisfaction of an instructor qualified to give instrument flying instruction. Alternatively, the candidate may carry out two approach procedures using different aids during the re-validation flight test.

Renewal
If you allow your IMC rating to lapse you will need to speak to an Examiner to ascertain what you require to renew.
