Hey Guys-

A buddy of mine is working on finishing up a rating he started long ago. He is a private pilot, with instrument/multi privileges. His multi is "VFR Only."

His uncle recently passed and his aircraft is for sale w/ his estate. Its a Baron. His question to me was "do I need to take a full instrument checkride in a twin to have the restriction removed?" I guess he needs to be instrument rated for insurance/lending purposes to purchase the twin.

Not being an instructor and not having taken a checkride for anything in awhile, I had no idea, but I told him I'd help him find out.

If someone could point me in the right direction I'd be very appreciative.
