Re: Instrument Ratings?
Tomasz
In the bad old days we did not have Instrument Ratings in UK but were issued with "Competency to fly in Instrument Meteorological Conditions in Controlled Airspace" - this about sums up the IR in a nutshell!
Keeping the thing upright is ony part of the problem - working in a busy airspace environment and staying ahead of the game with the radio aids is rather sporty. Couple this to a malfunction, or two, then you have your work cut out.
Nevertheless, keep at it - it is a wonderful skill when mastered. Helicopters are very powerful under instruments.
