Firstly, you should understand that there isn't a cat in hell's chance of anything 'FAA' being accepted as an EASA way of doing things. If you thought antipathy towards the UK IMCr was bad enough, anitpathy towards anything 'N-reg' or 'FAA' is many times worse. So forget comparison with the way they do things on the other side of the pond.

I for one have not indicated an FAA IR in the UK I have indicated an easier to achieve IR which doesnt drop standards which is a little closer to an FAA IR.
As to yourself in the real world good luck as you will equally never achieve anything vaguely like the UK IMCR European wide either.
Your best hope is that the CAA refuse to do anything on the IMCR on the grounds that to elimate it would cause a drop in safety to VFR pilots in our unique weather.
That arguement and tactic doesnt take an Einstein to work out or suggest but Good luck and carry on with the tea and biscuits.
