the specific risks seem to be getting ramp checked after executing an Instrument approach (which is the same risk an IMCr pilot holds if IFR operating outside the UK), the other issue is crashing during an Instrument
Approach from a filed IFR flight plan (it is easy to prove after the fact that the flight was planned to be not compliant with this particular aspect of EU law
- not withstanding that the flight would be 100% legal anywhere else in the world). We will need to wait for a case to be decided where the insurer elects not to pay and is then litigated to know the answer.
