I do like that term "DFC you are WRONG" it warms my heart.
If you actually read his last post it has gone from being "illegal" to "the training does not support minimum approaches". I look forward to the next line he trots out to support his argument.
<Go on. Ask them. I can guarantee that they will give their permission. >
It would be much easier for DFC to actually ask the CAA himself instead of pontificating or is he scared getting the answer from the horses mouth will sink his arguments?
Personally my original IMCR training was actually done by the same guy who is doing most of my current JAR IR training and he believed strongly in the IMCR as a proper tool and trained me and all of his students to minima. In the 1400hrs between doing the IMCR and deciding to do the full IR (to give me access to the airways as my plane is equipped) I have flown over 200hrs by sole reference to instruments and carried out many approaches to minima. But in real terms it is rare to have to fly to minima as the weather is not that bad, however when I take off I am happy that I can get back down at the other end.
