IMC RATING INTERIM STATEMENT
I have now been advised that the CAA's Interim Statement should be considered to apply until 30th June 2012 as further developments are anticipated before then.
None of which should be considered prejudicial to anyone considering training for the IMCR - it's just that a clearer idea of the specific licensing mechanism which will apply after 30 Jun is not yet known.
You can blame this whole nonsense on the intransigence of EASA; the UK CAA is just trying to find the best way to preserve the rights and safety standards enjoyed by UK pilots.
