(Who will be first to tell me that the money you would save doing an FAA IR could be used to buy all this kit )
I don't suppose anyone will.
However, if a European IR was accessible to PPL holders in a similar way to an FAA IR, there would be a bigger market for sale of compliant avionics, and the cost might come down!
I've now had two consecutive optimistic days.... something must be wrong!
