There is no suggestion that the IMCr will ever be withdrawn completely. It will always be possible to attach it to a UK national licence for use on Annex II aircraft. As things stand at the moment neither the IMCr nor and any other national rating may be entered in a Part-FCL licence (i.e. a licence issued after 1 July 2012). An IMCr that is entered into a JAR-FCL licence will remain in that licence, notwithstanding that it is deemed to be a Part-FCL licence, until it expires or is otherwise replaced by a Part-FCL licence but the privileges may be exercised only until 8 April 2014.
