Does this not beg certain questions about the PPL?
Lets be honest this little island in the North Atlantic does not have the worlds best flying weather.
I have been flying in CAVOK and been into afternoon autumn sun. You can see nothing.
Should the PPL not be extended to include some instrument get you home flying. Ie the IMC? I know there is some instrument flying on the JAA PPL but very little and a lot of PPL holders fly few hours and in good weather.
Ok I know I will get so much chaf sent up that I will crash and burn on this point but would be interested to know what ATC officers and other pilots think.
(I think I will don my parachute now)
