IFR PJE, what a joke! Its done anyway, thing is CASA has no real intention to do anything about it.
In my time Ive seen many keen drivers BEG for hours doing PJE, so they can then go "up north" etc. When they have accumulated what they wanted, THEN they bag the whole PJE community for doing the naughty thing. Some people that posted here (I know who they are), and I remember THEM flying IFR, and doing other things like running out of fuel, drinking lots the night before a long day, etc. Now they call for closing them down! Something out of balance here.
PILOTS, safety is in you hands, you decide what is done in your aircraft.
By the way, I believe jumping through IFR can be done safely enough. Use a Navajo or the like, a TSO c129 GPS, an IFR pilot, an IFR approved Jump Zone, put a flight plan in, pay the dues, pay the pilot please....like they are going to do it that way!!
Im afraid nothing has changed in 20 years!!
