Perhaps EASA will agree but change the wording to something along the lines of "VFR flights at night will also comply with the IFR rules".
.. .. .. and maybe not.
.. .. .. and what do pilots do in Europe at the moment at night, without an IR?
.. .. .. as apparently the Europeans dont understand what we do.
I've never once said getting rid of the IMC rating is a good idea, nor have I implied it and I'd appreciate it if you didn't imply that I had. Thanks.
If you are happy to see the demise of these priviliges
I would have said "since" if I thought you had, or "as you have implied" if that was my impression - as it was I said "if".
.. .. .. but no offence taken as I didnt imply it.
Please do try not to be so sensitive though -
I would rather debate the issues, not get dragged into the minuteau of the wording. I do that all day long when it is important - and most of the time I cant spell and my grammar is dreadful.
