Maybe then we should argue for a special case UK only IMCR on thye basis that our maritime island weather requires such a rating?

I frankly think that anything European is a non starter. I would love to be proved wrong but lets get real.

As far as a full IR that is another matter and I am sure there are many who would love to have an achievable IR?

Why have so many abandoned Europe and gone to all the trouble of registering N?

EASA hates N reg in Europe but instead of sitting down and thinking why? and should we crush N reg by offering something more attractive their way is to try and ban something which offends instead of looking at why?

As in any market in the free world the way forward has to be to offer something better, cheaper and more attractive not to take a heavy stick and a big brother one at that!

The IMCR is unique in the UK but we will never get the Europeans to accept it.

We do have an opportunity to get something hammered out closer to an FAA type IR which would be better?
