‘(c)

  1. (1)

    go through refresher training at an ATO to reach the level of proficiency needed to pass the instrument element of the skill test in accordance with Appendix 9 to this Part; and

  2. (2)

    complete a proficiency check in accordance with Appendix 9 to this Part, in the relevant aircraft category.
