The route we should be taking lets hope that is the way things go

I very quickly realized the limitations of the IMC rating
I think it was MadJock who talked about experience with either the IMCR or the IR!
I always remember the IMCR as being a get out of jail for free card for the VFR pilot who got into minimal conditions more than a mini IR.

Having said that I knew quite a few very experienced PPLs who used it with anger and shot approaches in pretty bad weather often making life hard for themselves beating around OCAS avoiding bit of airspace to the sides and above and stuck down in the worst of weather but they were relying on hard earned experience over many years.

The majority never used it in anger and frankly a lot were not capable of using the privalages in anger.
