So, if the French are coming up with a National Only IR, which maybe along similar lines as the current UK IMCr, and both will be National Only...
Now I might actually be using logic to solve a political problem here, but can't we for once hold hands with our French brothers and say let the UK use it's IMCr in France and the UK lets the French use their one in UK...
Surely then also, EASA would have evidence that cross-border Light-IRs work, are functional and could actually get the "hobby" sport into a practical get somewhere transport network in Europe where people would fly more, be more current and therefore safer?
