If their offering tea but not biscuits maybe EASA have had a cut in their massive budget
Seriously as 10540 said its a load of bollox. Weather at destination or what its forecast or not forecast has very little relevance to you trying to safely change from IFR to VFR IMC to VMC 50 miles away!
What procedure are EASA suggesting that the pilot leaving his last waypoint to become VFR for a VFR approach follows If on reaching his MSA he is still in solid cloud and in IMC? Does he take a direct line to a destination at MSA busting airspace in the process? does he climb back to IFR levels to his diversion descent point again 50 miles out from there what is the procedure that EASA require?
Enroute the happy pilot is in the blue over nothern france he has a major problem but all the airfields below are giving an RVR of 700 metres with overcast at 300 feet.
Whats does EASA suggest the now unhappy pilot does?
I really feel some of these rule makers have no idea of the reality of flying and are totally naive.
