Flying schools will suffer with less revenue - less people continuing to train post PPL
* will they? IMCR rating issue is constantly falling so I am not sure that adds up.
Instrument skills of the PPL will reduce
* An IR will equally enhance instrument skills
Safety will be reduced
* Please define exactly how this will happen, not just anecodtal evidence but hard facts.
FI's will be required to maintain IRs (to get on top in bad weather)
Etc....
* GOOD, might improve the training standards. Or maybe they should not be getting on top when teaching VFR courses?
