If you haven't got an IR you cannot fly the ILS in real or simulated IMC at LFAT unless you're under instruction from an IRI
Don't see why? JAR makes room for flying under the hood with the competent observer person, and last I knew, France was part of the JAA.....? As far as I see it...so long as you remain VFR, and by that I mean one qualified pilot is operating under visual flight rules, the other can be under the hood and you can be perfectly legal. You're still not flying 'in accordance with IFR' even when established on the ILS as no IFR clearance has been issued.
Who gets to claim P1 in this circumstance might be a tricky, but then as far as I remember, JAR doesn't make any allowance for the safety pilot to claim any time.
