Apologies if this subject has been raised before :-
I am thinking of starting an IMC course towards the end of this year and I wanted to get some feedback from those who have or are in the process of getting an IMC rating. I'm trying to determine if it's a worthwhile rating to have considering the time & cost implications of the course and maintaining the rating.
I know one of the arguments for is that due to the vagaries of the British weather it enables you to be confident to regain VFR conditions. However the UK is the only country that has an IMC rating but is not the only country that has changeable weather so why don’t other countries have an IMC?
Any comments?
As an aside, does anyone know what happened to the JAA proposed IMC replacement the IWR?
