So, would this suit people as a 'Euro IRlite':
Objective:
1.0 To enable pilots to cope safely with non-VMC weather in EU airspace.
Privileges:
1.1 To fly IMC/IFR in permitted airspace (other than Class A).
1.2 To navigate the aircraft by sole reference to instruments under circumstances which require mandatory compliance with defined routes.
1.3 To fly instrument approach procedures for which they have logbook endorsements to instrument approach minima +200 ft for precision approaches and +250 ft for non-precision approaches.
Specific Exclusions:
2.1. No multi-pilot IMC rating – multi-pilot ratings must include an IR by default, as is current JAA practice.
2.2. No CAT II/IIIa/IIIb/IIIc approaches permitted.
2.3. No flight in Class A airspace which requires mandatory compliance with IFR.
Training:
3.1. At least 10 hours Basic Instrument Flight Module, common to the modular IR training.
3.2. At least 10 hours procedural instrument flight training, to consist of:
Module 1: 4 hours training in take-off, departure, en-route navigation and holding.
3.3. Any 2 of the following 4 modules:
Module 2: 3 hours training in precision approaches with pilot-interpreted guidance.
Module 3: 3 hours training in non-precision approaches with pilot-interpreted guidance in azimuth only.
Module 4: 3 hours training in precision or non-precision radar approaches, with guidance provided by an external controller.
Module 5: 3 hours training in approved RNAV/GNSS approaches.
3.4. All instrument approach flight training modules shall include:
3.4.1 Missed approach and go-around training.
3.4.2 Visual circuit flying under simulated conditions of low cloud and reduced visibility (600 ft cloudbase and 1800m horizontal in-flight visibility).
3.5. Additional training will be required if the test is to be undertaken in a multi-engine aircraft:
Module 6: 4 hours training in one-engine inoperative procedures relevant to all phases of flight (take-off, departure, en-route, approach and missed approach).
3.6. Training to be conducted:
3.6.1. By either:
3.6.1.1. A FI authorised under JAR-FCL or EASA-FCL whose privileges include instruction in applied instrument flying; or
3.6.1.2 An IRI authorised under JAR-FCL or EASA-FCL;
3.6.2. At an RF or FTO;
3.6.3 In suitably equipped aeroplanes or, as specified in para 3.7., an FNPT2 or FFS.
3.7. Of the required hours procedural instrument flight training, the following synthetic training may be conducted in FNPT 2 or FFS:
3.7.1. 2 of the 4 hours of Module 1; and
3.7.2. 2 of the 6 hours of Modules 2-5 .
Skill Test:
4.1. Skill Test shall be conducted by a FE or IRE authorised under JAR-FCL or EASA-FCL to include:
4.1.1. Full Panel Instrument Flying.
4.1.2. Limited (or Partial) Panel Instrument Flying.
4.1.3. Use of radio navigation aids for position fixing and en-route navigation.
4.1.4. Let down and approach procedures, to include one precision and one non-precision approach, of which at least one shall be pilot-interpreted and of which at least one shall be concluded by a missed approach and go-around.
4.1.5. Bad weather circuit.
4.1.6. Flight with asymmetric thrust (multi-engined aircraft only).
