UK IMC Rating + JAA PPL
Hello all,
Sorry to intrude but am I after some instructor's viewpoints on how useful an IMC rating is to a JAA PPL holder.
I am currently training on my IMC Rating. A few weeks ago, whilst studying the Air Law aspects of the rating, I opened up CAP393 to check on the privileges afforded to the holder. To my horror I read that the benefits of an IMC Rating for a JAA PPL holder are much reduced as opposed to for the holder of a CAA PPL. What I have not yet concluded is whether this is a result of an oversight in the documentation, an error in my interpretation of the rules or a deliberate attempt to make the IMC Rating less relevant to JAA licence holders.
If anybody wants the full SP then I can post the relevant extracts, word-for-word; I wanted to avoid it in this first post so that this didn't become an endless, tiresome post.
Fire away!
Charley
