Neither the Jetprop nor the pressurised Malibu are complex in the EASA sense. EASA defines a “complex aeroplane” as one

I am aart. The takeoff performance is even more astounding than I had expected. The strip is about 750m long. The takeoff roll in the Mirage used to be about 500 m. In the JP I am off in less than 400 (using short field technique), and even better I climb out of turbulence caused by trees in a couple of seconds. I dont have to be as cautious about weight in the JP either.

certificated for operation with a minimum crew of at least two pilots, or
equipped with (a) turbojet engine(s) or more than one turboprop engine
And whether Complex or not a CPL is not required. I have type ratings for CE525 and Beech 200 on my EASA PPL,

That used to be the case a few years ago. Then it was changed. The piston PA46 is now a simple SEP, nothing different from a Bonanza or similar. The turbine PA46 requires a class rating. In real life it is very similar to the type rating but the PIC part is now valid 2 years. But as you have to revalidate the IR in real life there is not much of a difference (unless you renew the IR on a bigger plane and then only have a PA46 flight every 2 years).
Can the IR not be revalidated on any single engine plane?

In EASA-land SE/IR can be revalidated on any single engine aircraft. And, of course, you get it as part of ME/IR revalidation.

Same in FAA-land. The IR currency carries over between single and multi. The pax carrying 90-day rule, however, does not.
In EASA it doesn’t carry over, a box needs to be ticked on the exam form and there are experience requirements.
It only works for
Exam for / Additional reval
ME IR + SE IR
and not for
SE IR + ME IR
The pax carrying 90-day rule is automatically covered if you have a Euro IR, which Brits “need” to have as of Dec 2021.
You need 3 takeoff & 3 landing in every class before flying with pax in TMG, MEP, SEP, MET, SET, TR…
For night, you are exempt with valid IR see FCL.060 (recently I was told by one night instructor that PIC holding an IR still needs 1 takeoff & 1 landing for NVFR flights with pax in their ATO aircraft, this seems like stretch or bad translation of FCL rules in their flying order book? as FCL.060 clearly exempts it)
