Homeguard,
You are ignoring me again!
You are again wrong in so many ways. You said, referring to the uk ppl holder,
The ANO then will allow the IMC Pilot to take off and land using 1500m viz.
this is incorrect! As i, and DFC have pointed out
the holder shall not fly:
(i)........
(ii)when the aeroplane is taking off or landing at any place if the flight visibility below cloud is less than 1800 metres.
As for goddammits point, goddammit is correct! the ANO deatails the priviliges for the holder of a JAR licence flying in the UK, irrespective of where it was issued!!
(A further example of a UK difference is the fact one can't fly VFR at night in the UK. This also applies to all, irrespective of which state issued the licence!!)
