A few questions about the Instrument Profeciency Check (IPC)

Since I'm 12 months out of currency for my instrument currency, I'm going to have to take an Instrument Proficiency Check (IPC) really soon. I have a few questions for the check:

1) Is it done by an FAA Inspector or CFI?
2) What are the requirements / procedures for an IPC? Are they the same as the practical test for my instrument rating?
3) If I fail the check, do I lose my instrument rating?

1) CFI.

2) Sooo many details - see here: http://www.faa.gov/pilots/training/media/IPC_Guidance.pdf Basically, you should be able to pass an instrument rating checkride, as well as the oral exam.

3) No! You're just where you were before - not current.

The requirements for the instrument proficiency check are located in front of the Instrument PTS. There is a table there with a column named IPC. Those tasks listed under that column are required to be completed in order for a CFII to sign you off.
