So back to the original question I asked.
Its odd no one seems to know much about Jim Thorpe.
It seems to me if he is one of those representing UK interests on FCL008 we would have a good idea who he represents, whether he has the mandate of that organisation and how the European en route IMC rating was developed.
Is he on a personal crusade or does he have a much wider mandate?
(and I dont mean in the sense do we agree or disagree with the enroute IMC, we have already debated that one, rather where was the forum in which the idea was developed and debated, and which organisations, if any, support the rating)
[Edited to add which on reflection I must have asked on another thread
]
