Which is why we are having so many problems getting the IMC recognized for the JAA IR changes we are working on. The CAA and JAA know what goes on and are unhappy. Despite all the protestations on these forums about how good everyone who posts IMC was the general standard turns out to be quite shocking.
I am pretty sure the Instructors doing this mean well and think they are showing people a good way of dealing with DME failures or an "emergency" approach in a badly equipped aircraft. What they are actually doing is encouraging unsafe practices and covering up for the !!!! can state of the average GA trainer. IMCR training aircraft should be of the same standard as IR aircraft. With the exception of Class A they can do the same things in the same places just to a lower standard. So why should we think it acceptable for people to train in non FM Immune, Mode S etc aircraft?
