Agreed, but be aware of the scope. You might also want to slip in that you'd like a G-V for Christmas. Just like a request to keep the IMC rating in place as a national rating, it's likely to get a 'noted' response.
On the specific point, the explanatory note to the NPA says in para 7
Although the conversion of existing IMC ratings is not within the scope of this task, the
Agency is aware that this issue is closely linked to it. This NPA provides several options
for pilots with prior instrument experience to be credited towards the new ratings.
However, it should be mentioned at this stage that a conversion of existing IMC ratings is
already covered by the draft Commission Regulation laying down technical requirements
and administrative procedures related to civil aviation aircrew pursuant to Regulation
(EC) No 216/2008 of the European Parliament and of the Council. This draft Regulation
clearly defines that Member States should convert existing licences and ratings into Part-
FCL licences and ratings. It is highlighted in this Regulation that Member States should
aim at allowing pilots to, as far as possible, maintain their current scope of activities and
privileges. The Agency already discussed this issue with the CAA UK and industry experts
in order to identify possible options for UK IMC holders. The most favourable solution
seems to be that a Part-FCL licence and an IR will be issued with certain conditions on
the basis of a specific conversion report in order to reflect the current privileges held.
This would allow the existing UK IMC holders to continue to exercise their IMC privileges.
I would have thought that you would want the privileges of this 'conditional IR' to extend to approaches rather than 'automatic conversion ... into an En-Route Instrument Rating'.
