You know for over two years I have written in these forums my opinion on the IMCR being retained.
I value its benefits both from a safety angle as well as making flying more practical for the PPL but in the new EASA times it has past its sell by date and fighting to retain it rather than replace it with an FAA style full IR has purely diverted focus away from demanding a PPL IR (Full) which the ordinary working man with work and family obligations can achieve.
Without the influence of the french I very much doubt such an IR would be on the cards and I find it pathetic that the UK has not been equally vociferous in DEMANDING such an IR for GA pilots.
If the IMCR has such proven safety attributes then a full IR would have even better.
I say DEMAND because that is what we should have done.
So what victory retaining the IMCR? To me that would be winning a battle and losing the war
If you think that is nonsense so be it we disagree on this point
