Hey career girl

Although the IMC gives no credits in the UK to CPL/IR I personally chose to go and get one ten hours after ppl.
Why...;
I would guess its a good litmus test for things to come in the IR.

It really shakes your flying up.

It opens a lot more doors for hour building in the UK.

I actually found the IMC test less stressful than the ppl...its all very boxxy and rigid. My mind seems to cope well with no foreward vision whatsoever(test day weather was appalling did not see a damn thing from take off to 500 ft dh. So bad that screens were not necessary.

If you can't hack this you may as well forget IR.

With this and the night I finally felt like I was operating at a proffessional pilot level.

Its FUN
