The stupidity is that regardless of approaches you will have to be trained to fly on instruments for letting down through cloud. Flying in CAS will also mean flying to IFR tolerances so a stronger instrument training than at present.

Not seeing the ground will mean you will have to navigate using nav aids, airways points etc. In case the whole lot goes pear shaped you will still have to be trained on instrument landing procedures in case of an emergency.
So????

I must admit I never like the idea of transitioning from IFR to VFR. That is a known risk area.

I was never for saving the IMCR for just the reasons portrayed and have had many arguements here for my views. I always feared you would end up with a gesture IMCR and having made that gesture a way out for EASA ever having to make a proper achievable PPL IR.

As is said " Be careful what you wish for".
