Appendix 1c to JAR-FCL 1.055 states:
The skill test for the Instrument Rating shall be conducted in the JAA Member State of the approving Authority. FTOs shall make arrangements for the approved course to include acclimatisation flying within the JAA Member State of the approving Authority or any other JAA Member State at the discretion of the approving Authority prior to any student taking the instrument rating skill test with an examiner authorised by the approving Authority.
Answer your question?

Hey all
Bit weird this one from my limited understanding of the JAA as stated before the original test has to be done in a JAA member state.
As for doing it in ClassA airspace in the US to get around that limitation I do not see how that would help as ClassA is airspace as stated from 18,000msl to FL600.
It is required to have a clearance to get into ClassA and flights must be conducted under IFR unless prior permission is obtained to operate under VFR in a requested circumstance.
As for the flight test being conducted in ClassA you would have to leave ClassA to do the approaches and even to get into ClassB (The terminal areas for large airports such as DFW,LAX,JFK etc etc)you would have to pass through ClassE or maybe even ClassG(uncontrolled) So you would not be able to conduct the whole flight in ClassA.
Maybe this is not what is being asked but for conducting a flight test in ClassA the only thing it would be good for would be flying along airways.
