Can someone please explain to me something, minus all the mud-slinging. Under the proposed EIR:
1.) At the time of takeoff your METAR at departure and TAF at destination look VMC so you're legal
2.) Enroute you hit IMC and using your swanky EIR skills manage to continue.
3.) The weather takes a turn for the worse and your destination and alternate are under cloud but above the IMC mimuma. With your old IMCr your would have had the skills to peform and ILS etc.....
.....What do you do with the EIR???? Make up your let down OCAS without an approach aid?? Decsend into VMC outside the ATZ and maybe under the range of radar coverage???
