If you can't make an approach at the end, what does a typical flight using the EIR look like?
You'll have to wait for FCL.008's report and NPA for a definitive answer, but my impression is that the flight would be an IFR flight like any other, with a requirement that planning minima are met at the destination or alternate -- just like a current IFR flight but with higher minima to enable a visual approach from MSA.
As far as I can recall, my last 10 or so IFR legs would have been perfectly flyable under such requirements -- I would have thought that 80-90% of flights would be.
