(you can't do a night rating). Not now ! but when I gained my UK night rating it was based on my FAA medical. So I have a CAA night rating and therefore am eligible to gain an IR although due to later medical restriction (when I goy a UK medical) I cannot fly in UK at night.
Now where is the logic in that ?
Yes I did get the impression that left arm and right were very out of touch and that policy was being made on the hoof with illogical inconsistencies.
