I am not holding a survey IO, I am asking for real recent experience of people actually using the IMCR not just comments about how all good they are at it. Real flights like this week I flew to south end in a XXX the weather was xxx the approach was XXX and I flew XXX time on the clocks.
I am interested in the responses nothing more sinister than that. So come on all give me real flights and the reasons for them.
I am the only one who flew from our place this morning, the tea shack full of people with IMCR drinking coffee and talking about flying but not actually doing any.
And:
There is such a thing as an accurately flown NDB, how do you think all of us got through our IR's? +-5 degrees from the centerline as well as accurate NDB holds. It is not difficult just takes a fair bit of practice.
Your comment about finding nothing difficult on the iR just proves what I was saying!!
I don't recall learning anything of relevance to actual instrument flight in the IR. But that could be because I had ~ 600hrs and about 100hrs IMC time (no AP) by the time I did it.
I fly airways in the UK whenever possible. I am below 2 ton and I have an IR so why not?
While this may well be true, it is a badge worth having, just as some swimming "personal survival" badge is...you have it, but hope you never need it to some
All badges are worth having otherwise there would be no point in them.......
