Folks,
What I was pointing out to you is that if you are going to do a NVFR rating, try and get the points covered in your training so that when you have a MECIR you have the requirements to operate NVFR on charter operations.
The standard syllabus does not cover you for IR NVFR requirements.
Another option of course is to have multi engine added to your NVFR rating (something I never did)
I recommend the SE NVFR rating, it may save your bacon one day if you get to close to the soup. After completing a NVFR rating you are almost as proficient on the dials as a MECIR pilot without the IFR theoretical knowledge and approach training. (and of course the IF time counts towards your CPL if you do it prior along with your CIR)
Have fun!
