No, the standard is NOT 'low'
Beagle by low I meant in comparison to an IR hence EASA would see it that way if you tried to sell the IMCR as a Eurpean rating.
EASA would also see it as treading on the IRs feet and a lowering of standards.
Hence I support the retaining of the IMCR but differ to many here in the fact that i cannot see EASA ever accepting it and wonder whether a low level IR for Europe would be more achievable? with maybe a special case IMCR for the UK or individual countries who prove they have a special weather case to need it.
I agree the standards are not low for what the IMCR was intended for.
