World leaders set the standard not operate far below it.
You must please stop confusing different things.
We have set the standard for an IMCR applicable to the need of some private pilots. It does exactly what they want and it does it safely. It has stood the test of time. It was introduced by people of great stature at a time when a much more straight forward IR existed. It is not an IR, no one is petending it is - that is why it is not called an IR and comes with restrictions.
.. .. .. and while we are about it lets get on to the night rating. I guess on the same basis that goes? Has that messaged been broadcast? If I am right that should really stir the pot!
.. .. .. and while we are also about it, on a practical note, if an instructor takes your money followed by the CAA for a 25 month IMCR or a life time night rating but EASA remove both within their validity where does that fit? Does that mean we will see the end of the IMCR 25 months before the changes are enacted?
