On the issue of the IMC rating the holder is absolved the requirement to maintain 3,000m in flight viz. The IMC holder may fly in full accordance with VFR in VMC, when below 3000' QNH 1500m CLEAR of cloud whether below it or above or to the side dosn't matter. 1nm (1852m) is for landing and taking off.

We need you! 1500m is the VMC minima. A JAA PPL is allowed to fly at the VMC in-flight minima (UK Licence restricts) If one says that the IMC pilot must have 1,852m for taking off and landing always, even when undertaking a VFR/IFR flight within VMC ................................. a contradiction arises, wheres the rub?
