In case there is any doubt, I support the retention of the IMCR but the way to achieve that is not how the majority of scribes here suggest.
Thank you for a good summary.
I am interested to know how you believe it should be achieved?
In the event it is not achieved, I am interested in how you think the CAA and the various representative bodies including your own will react if there are a great many IMCr holders who are a little upset that their views have not been represented given the numbers that signed the No 10 petition and given the "assurances" announced by the CAA and EASA in their press briefing.
It occurs to me that it is all to easy to argue that the UK IMCrated pilots are in the minority in Europe. I would argue that since there is almost no private IR flying in Europe as an inclusive part of the total population of private pilots entitled to fly on instruments UK IMCr pilots are a significant member and should be represented as such. If they are not the very constituition of FCL008 may be questionable.
