The FAA has just released a revised version of the instrument rating
practical test standards to become effective October 1, 2004:

Included in the footnotes of this new PTS is a substantial change in the
requirements for an Instrument Proficiency Check.



Currently a CFII conducting an IPC is permitted to use his discretion in
asking a pilot to demonstrate a reasonable selection of items from the PTS.
This seems reasonable in order to adjust the IPC to pilot
strengths/weaknesses which are perceived by either the pilot

My PTS that is almost 4 years old had this. I think this has always
been there, I think people just haven't noticed. You need to look at
the table that talks about what items have to be done for an airplane
instrument if you already have a rotocraft instrument. There is
another table called PC that is for IPC. It spells out the IPC pretty
easily.
