Am i the only one out here in the ether of the 'net who feels that the IMC should actually be PART of the PPl; a combination of the two, in my opinion, is the real private licence.
British weaher is just to changable to rely on vfr at all times. Four seasons in one day and all.
On that note, dont even get me started on this NPPL malarky!!
Just my thoughts; i'll prepare for a flaming now!
