I'm curious about the comments which say flying with no vis is not much fun. To me, that's one of the challenging things about flying.
As with the last post, I wish there was a JAA rating which didn't require private pilots to be just as as competent as Airline Pilots - which is what the JAA/IR is.
I'm thinking of doing the IMC rating myself, although I can't use it here, just for the extra training and experience it offers.
I'd say go for it, but then I'm biased
