Introduction of Basic IR
So it looks like EASA have condescended to introduce (maybe) the BIR. This is essentially the UK IMC Rating but extended to euroland. However, the requirements to obtain the rating in terms of time and cost will be unnecessarily prohibitive, and yet again the efforts of AOPA UK (and not for want of trying) have been poo-pooed and dismissed by EASA.
I am continually perplexed as to how we get our point across in EASA - AOPA try but seem to be continually ineffective in the key GA area's. Sorry to say that having been a memberfor 30+ years.
