Not sure what you mean by seperating private flying from commercial ?
Joe Bloggs flying his Cirrus in the airway or on an approach is mixing it with Mr EasyJet and has to be trusted to fly with accuracy!
An instrument rating can only be one standard and tha standard should be more akin to the American system instead of being a major hurdle for the working man with family commitments to achieve.
There has been study after study and both FAA and JAA IRs are equal so the rest in the JAA rating has to be needless junk!
I really do hope that EASA will grab the opportunity and make courageous steps in freeing up the industry from all the overloading and strangulation which is suffocating it!
Maybe elaborate on what you mean ?
