Quote:
If you hold a UK CPL or ATPL then the licence only prohibits IFR flight in Class A, B and C controlled airspace; therefore you do not need an IMC rating to fly IFR in Class E, F and G airspace.
And Class D. Holders are also exempt from the 1800m vis rule for take off and landing and the 3k min vis for SVFR, and no requirement for C of T.
