Hi, I am a foreign pilot and working on CPL conversion. I would like to prepare my instrument rating conversion simultaneously but I have some questions need help.
1. If I have the IR endorsement on my FAA CPL, does that means I still need to pass IREX exam and CASA flight test to get Australian IR?
2. If I submit the form 61-4A before I get my Australian CPL, will I get commercial instrument rating after my CPL issued?
3. If I book the IREX exam ahead of my IAP3D application and pass the exam, how long this 'passed' status could maintain valid before I take the IAP flight test.

I know my questions may be a little stupid but I really need help to figure these out. Thanks ahead!!

Cheers!

Ryan
