This is not true. Since change 2 of the current instrument PTS came
out, there has been NO discretion as to the content of an IPC. The

You are correct that the current PTS lists items which are required on an
IPC; however, those items are few enough and important enough that it is
unlikely any CFII would want to conduct an IPC without those items. It is
also clear that the CFII has the discretion to add additional items as
appropriate, and indeed most IPCs likely do include such additional items.

The newest PTS to take effect in October requires more tasks, enough tasks
in fact that in a typical 60-90 minute IPC flight it is probably not
practical to include much beyond the specifically required items.
