The idea of flying at night when I don't have any instrument qualifications is deeply unappealing to me. Inadvertant flight over cloud, inadvertant flight into cloud, and so on.
So I'm doing the IMCR first.
And in fact I'll be doing quite a bit of the IMCR training at night, the 4pm slot being by far the easiest for which to book an instructor at weekends!
As a result of which experience I'll be in a better position to decide whether I actually want to do the NQ at all.
