Updated EASA proposals on non-EU IRs

I have finally stumbled across this

Page 18:

Pilot licences for non-commercial activities with an instrument rating.
43 In the case of private pilot licences with an instrument rating, or CPL and ATPL
licences with an instrument rating where the pilot intends only to
exercise private pilot privileges, the holder shall comply with the following
requirements:
(a) complete the skill test for instrument rating and the type or class ratings
relevant to the privileges of the licence held, in accordance with Appendix 7
and Appendix 9 to Part-FCL;
(b) demonstrate that he/she has acquired knowledge of Air Law,
Aeronautical Weather Codes, Flight Planning and Performance (IR), and
Human Performance;
(c) demonstrate that he/she has acquired knowledge of English in
accordance with FCL.055;
(d) hold at least a valid Class 2 medical certificate issued in accordance with
ICAO Annex 1;
(f) have a minimum experience of at least 100 hours of instrument flight time
as pilot-in-command in the relevant category of aircraft.


This is an update of the previous proposal (pages 159-161).

Relevant items appear to be:

The IR checkride.
Validation no longer limited to 1 year.
Class 2 medical is OK (they don't say if the Class 1 audiogram is still required though).
You have to sit 4 of the JAA IR exams.

The full stuff is here but it is thousands of pages. The "c" PDFs (CRC "c") are EASA comments to the responses. Their proposals have been absolutely comprehensively trashed by so many people, starting with the various national CAAs (you can start reading here) but they still seem to be living in an alternate universe which only occassionally intersects this one.

The political meltdown of "anti N-reg" EASA proposals, widely reported in the media, is not very evident in EASA's comments, but then it wouldn't be - they will be beavering away in their little expense-funded heaven until the very end...

Interestingly, non-EU PPLs (no IR) can be validated permanently if the holder has 100hrs and passes 2 exams and the skills test.
