As I'm rowing in the same boat, I have to agree I think the current situation is about right. There is a big difference between flying around in something with a laser ring gyro guiding the INS and a fixed card (argh!!!) ADF. If you look at the CASA site it has a section there in the licensing section about what quals you can get and if you talk to the guys in Canberra it is actually a set system, its only the rumours that get around that change. The only change I'd like to see is once you have your civvy IFR rating, that mil renewals keep it current.
