IR to IMC
Hi guys,
The story is that my IR lapsed last month & just so I can get home again if the weather changes I want am IMC. What do I need to do? LASORS, as usual, is confusing me!
LASORS says
"An applicant who holds an ICAO IR or military green Instrument Rating (Aeroplanes) and have passed an IR test in the 24 months preceding the date of application for the IMC Rating will be exempt from taking the initial IMC Flight Test and written examination. Applicants will be required to apply for the issue of the IMC rating within this period, and the IMC granted will be based from the date the last IR test was passed."
So I can just send of the paper work, lots of money etc ...
It then says
"JAR-FCL CPL(A) and ATPL(A) licences does not have in-built IMC privileges. The holder of a JAR-FCL professional aeroplane licence without a valid IR(A)
who wishes to obtain an IMC Rating must complete the following:
I. 5 hours of applied dual instrument instruction in accordance with the IMC Rating syllabus and;
ii. pass an initial IMC Rating Flight Test."
Anyone have experience of this?
Thanks
