The clause in bold is a bit of a 'bold interpretation'. I would be surprised if the intention was for the existence of a Specific Circumstance to trigger a general exception to requiring an IR for IFR flight - subject to holding a 'qualification appropriate to the circumstances' (other than an IR).
Are there any Member States that have Specified Conditions requiring compliance with IFR (but not requiring an IR) other than the UK?
