IMCR / IR(R) are NATIONAL ratings and will remain entirely unaffected by DTO requirements...
This was made abundantly clear at the CAA roadshows last year and they promised to make the point when their document introducing DTO requirements is released.
However, although the EASA Rule Making Task Force for the Basic IR recommended that BIR training could be conducted at a DTO - and wrote that into the draft NPA - when EASA released the NPA they had reversed this agreed position, stating that BIR training would not be within the scope of DTOs. Having seen the responses to the NPA, I can assure you that there is overwhelming support for the Task Force's position and considerable opposition to the EASA volte face.
Sam_MHN, if you're interested in renting a little flat in Villacarlos (or Es Castell if you like...), send me a PM. It's only 4km from San Luis airport.
