Not correct, see FCL.1000. An examiner certainly must have the privilege to instruct for what he wants to examine.
(a) General
Holders of an examiner certificate shall:
(1) hold, unless otherwise determined in this Annex, an equivalent licence, rating or
certificate to the ones for which they are authorised to conduct skill tests, proficiency
checks or assessments of competence and the privilege to instruct for them;
Isn’t an examiner a higher category than an instructor?
An exam flight allows PIC time recording for both candidate and examiner. The examiner assesses if the candidate can do all of whatever on their own…
Curious to a source as to where it is written that the POH requirement of the PIC seating location calls for an examiner to also hold instructor ratings.
He can’t if the PIC needs to sit in the left seat by POH.
Are you sure about that? If an IRE has no IRI then he can’t sit in the right seat?
Even if the examiner has the papers to be PIC, he not necessarily needs to be an Instructor as well.
In aircraft where the POH says that the PIC needs to sit in the left seat, the only permissible exception is if an instructor acts as PIC from the right seat. An IRE who is not IRI does not qualify for that even if he is IR-rated and current as PIC.
Next question, does every IRE have CRI/TRI & CRE/TRE privileges of aircraft class & rating?
No
Can an examiner do SEIR test in PA28 with SEP & IRE without holding CRI/SE & CRE/SE?
Yes
can he do SEIR test in PA28 for candidates who hold SET but no SEP rating?
No. Candidates who hold SET but not SEP cannot do an IR revalidation in a SEP.
I stand corrected, so one has to be able to fly PIC but not necessarily act as PIC

In the UK, all examiners (in GA) have PIC capacity
Indeed, the majority in UK who are in teaching & examining for IR have done CPL, CRI, IRI in single engine
In France, you have to look very hard to find a place to do CPL in SEP, CRI/SE, IRI/SE (1*ATO for CPL in SEP and 2*ATO for CRI/SE and IRI/SE), everybody else just do their CPL in MEP, CRI/ME, IRIR/ME using the like of DA42
Not many people will fancy IFR in Wassmer CE43

That make sens then: you were actually flying PUT while the instructor CRI/ME was PIC and examiner CRE/ME was PAX
If examiner was RHS, the student can log PIC after pass !
Ha now you’re asking. I believe it was logged in the double command column. On the log books at the time SEP and MEP have columns under the headings PIC and Double command. Night, Instrument flights, IAPs and then a remarks column.
