Where was it done and who was your DE? I had my checkride postponed
twice because on poor weather. My DE said that the IFR checkride
had to be performed in VFR conditions and led me to believe that it
was mandated that way. I believed him as he pointed out trying to
do unusal attitude recovery in IMC was not condusive to prolonged
life.

I did it in Canada. Unusual attitude recovery on instruments is not
part of our IFR flight test, but I think that I remember doing it
during the hood work in the PPL flight test.

The other difference up here is that you have to retake the IFR flight
test every two years to stay current (in addition to six hours IFR and
six approaches to minimums in the last six months -- the 666 rule).


All the best,
