Contacting the examiners may be one way but it one hell of an exercise to reconcile the examiners records with the CAA records and one could ask if there is motivation on the part of the CAA to that sort of exercise.
Not very hard at all. Very simple actually.

Every examminer who tests for the IMC can check their logbook for the previous 25 months and list the IMC renewals they did which were passed.

Add to that list the initials they passed and there is the total IMC population.

Ask those holders for deatails from their logbooks of IMC flights and imstrument approaches in the past 4 or 8 weeks and you have the list of current IMC rating holders.

As many people as possible should join AOPA. That ensures that if there is an expensive legal challenge to the end of the IMC rating taken all the way to the European courts where it fails, the more members there are that can share the financial guarantee that every member is liable for the better.

How much of your savings are you betting on the IMC rating? AOPA may be betting more than you would like if you are a member.

Ask Dublin Pilot what happens to AOPA when they get involved in stupid legal battles.
