Well said Fuji.
I have been watching this thread as it has developed and become more and more amazed at some of the drivel being espoused by many who clearly have agendas of some sort or other.The scenario you outline is certainly my experience of the the sort of use made of the IMCR by PPL's that I come across week in week out and is certainly the way I use it.
Its to be hoped that the opportunity for some common sense to prevail has not been lost and we don't end up in a situation where IMHO safety could be seriously compromised as a result of these half baked proposals which I suspect are not wanted by the vast majority of PPL's but rather possibly by those who might see themselves at more of the "elite" end of the PPL spectrum.
