Please could someone clarify the nature and purpose of the Instrument Rating for me? I thought much of it was procedural as well as flying in IMC conditions so aren’t there circumstances when one could be flying IFR in VMC conditions? Obviously, the other way round ain’t too clever!

Surely the procedural aspect of the training could be undertaken on a single piston helicopter which would thus reduce the cost?

Cheers
