Zlin - You`re winding me up. While resisting the temptation to reach for the flamethrower - if it`s "2000 times more difficult" to fly an IFR approach in a light twin, than a 737 (you chose the type),in fact to the extent that it is "bloody difficult", it may say more about your perception of the two activities than substantiating the increase in public safety brought about by JAR.

You may have flown light twins, but if you found it bloody difficult (it`s not) you probably opted for a quieter life. If you found flying 737s to be less demanding (it`s not) may I humbly suggest that you`ve had superb and unstinting assistance from whoever was in the other seat, cloudless blue forever and a management culture so supportive and caring it would make the Samaritans look hardnosed.

The thread was about the I/R, which in my opinion is more about procedural/situational awareness than type/class specificity. That`s also how it was viewed pre JAR. The case for currency as opposed to IFR currency on light twins/singles is a little different.

Really you just saying that it should be does not qualify as evidence.

Is the world safer since JAR ?.
