gnx99,
You are not wrong. My mult/comm examiner gave me the whole instrument checkride as if I had no instrument rating at all. We almost forgot to do the single engine approach so I got to do an extra approach.
My order of ratings:
PPL
Instrument Ground Instructor
Instrument
Comm SEL
Comm/Instr MEL
Advanced Ground Instructor
I had my Instrument ground instructor before my Inst rating because I ran out of flying funds. Two of my ground students I signed off for written tests got their inst rating before I did.
I think getting instrument rated matures a pilot more than anything else at that stage. Where I live I wouldn't get to fly on many days without filing IFR.
