The point we are all missing is that on safety grounds the IMCR was never in threat. Who would take the responsability for just one death because the rating had been removed in our liability culture?
What always had a big question mark was expanding the IMCR into other European Countries or getting them to accept anything which had the privalages we enjoy in the UK.
So those who will wave flags that the IMC has been saved in the UK have kidded themselves big time. Their battle lines and save the IMCR committees are a joke and a sad one at that.
The question that should be is what have we achieved in making access into Europe in anything but VFR weather more achievable for the PPL and in these days of high cost in an economical and time effective way?
The answer to that is NOTHING.
That is the biggest lost opportunity and biggest chasing of a Red Herring I know!!! So what are we supposed to be Lobbying our MPs MEPs for???
