minima

bookworm

No, it dosn't. The JAA do not restrict the PPL to 3000m but only to the VFR minima of 1500m. The UK restricts a UK PPL to the 3000m.

On the issue of an IMC rating it has been my believe and those I have spoken to at the CAA that the UK restriction of 3000m is removed. (at least while the IMC is valid - needs clarifing also).

Therefore the IMC Pilot may fly VFR at 1500m. If that is the case then there is another anomaly in that the landing minima for the IMC rating is 1852m (1800m normally stated) unless the 1nm caveat is only for landing off an instrument approach, but if so, then what of the take off 1nm restriction.

Thats me question.
