At the risk of sounding naive, should someone not possibly look at the possibility of making a PPL-IR more reachable for someone who does not intend on going down the fATPL route for the foreseeable future? I will of course be looking to add an IMCR to my PPL when the time comes but ultimately I think the IR is the way to go but I think as things are currently anyone who is going for an IR is also going for a CPL at minimum therefore the prices seem to be inflated. I think this is hugely unfair and somehow we have become to accept the IMC rating as 'the best we can do'.
Why?
