I still think the EIR is a sensible step forward, but ONLY if it includes a precision approach capability.
And preferably non-precision, with suitable minima. Why not? Some of the smaller airfields with instrument procedures - the sort that IMCR holders might fly to - don't have ILS. I'd much rather fly an NP procedure to break through a cloudbase of 800-1000 feet than risk it DIY - when the MSA might well be 2000 feet. (We can have a separate debate about what the minima should be - whether the existing recommended 500/600 feet AAL are suitable.)
