Have a look at LASORS http://www.caa.co.uk/docs/33/LASORS.PDF


Now, I'm confused. LASORS says that it's 800 hours compliance with IFR, but several threads recently have quite rightly, in my view, pointed out that IFR has nothing whatever to do with whether or not the flight is conducted by sole reference to instruments but is merely adherence to remaining 1,000' above any obstruction within 5nm and complying with the quadrantal rule above 3,000'. LASORS does also say that flight on 1 hour by sole refence to instruments is worth 4 hours IFR! Why does merely flying well away from obstructions but otherwise navigating by looking out of the window qualify you in any way for teaching instrument flight?

Some wiser head able to enlighten us, please?

Cheers,
