Framer, single engine NVFR is not allowed by commercial flights.
I have no argument with that, I actually didn't mention single engine ops, just single pilot ifr in response to someones suggestion that it could also be banned.

Framer...dude!!! stick your head in a rule book!!!
Charter category.
Day VFR flight. PIC must hold an NFVR and aircraft legal for NVFR
Night VFR. PIC must hold CIR, and Aircraft duly maintained.

heh heh good call , you're probably right, I look in the law books all the time but not the NVFR section. That said, it makes no difference to my argument at all.
My position is that the NVFR rating doesn't prepare the pilot for the conditions they will encounter. Simple. Do you think it does?
It should be scrapped or the 'time under the hood' required should be increased to achieve the same competancy levels that are achieved with an IFR rating. Don't worry about the nav so much (after all it is VFR) but equip the pilot with the skills to be able to deal with all the nasty illusions that come with flying in IMC ....because the reality is....sometimes they'l need that skill.
Thats all I'm saying.
