Seriously my flippant earlier post aside how do you think that will work?
Well how does it work at the majority of GA airfields where there are no IAPs available? There you don't have a choice, whether you have an IR, IMC rating or an EIR. For an IFR flight you need to make a transition from visual flight to instrument flight on departure, and vice versa on arrival. Yet pilots make such flights every day, in the UK, in the US and in continental Europe.
