IMC/IR(R).. going on to CBIR.

Hello

I have been thinking of gaining an IMC Rating as I am tired of having to wait for weather improvements for VFR flights.

I know the IMC will sharpen up my experience and offer the chance to shoot ILS approaches at nearby fields or even get close to home (sadly home doesn't have ILS). UK Airspace only.

The long term plan would be to go on and get a full IR..but I have been looking at the CBIR..and that those holding an IR(R) may be able to get hours credits towards CBIR.. a max of 30 I think.

Just wondered if this route is a bit long winded and if the CBIR has the same value as the normal IR(A), advantages etc..? Does it matter if you have an IR vs a CBIR?.. I mean they both allow the same thing...

Ta.
