Chilli, how subtle you are! Although I'm not making any plans for the immediate future, I was wondering what the cost is. Ultimately I'd like to get an IR, I'm just trying to make the decision whether to go for JAA or FAA. I think that if I decide hard and fast that I won't go onto ATPL, then I'll go for the FAA otherwise, if I was to get a JAA IR, it would be in my best interest go go that bit further and get a JAA ATPL.
That said, I'd still be interested to know what I might expect to pay for an IMC rating in the UK.
