Well that really helps.
It means a quantumleap forward in terms of an accessible ir.
It means you can actually start using your imcr abroad as well if you have it transferred to EIR
It means you get a very easy way in to a full easa ir..
It means you will lose the right to do an approach.
Mmm well if **** weather was unexpectedly encountered than you can allways claim force majeur and do the approach anyway.
You claim the Faa ir is so muchbetter ... And I agree .. But the practical training is completely the same as in Europe. The difference is the written part and at least that got a lot better. The FAA ir requires a lot more training than the imcr and still you did it.
Be happy with all the plusses. Imcr where you can make an approach throughout europe was never going to happen.
The only thing I disagree with is, that if the uk CAA has allowed it and it seems to work fine than let this "national thing" remain in existence within their borders.
Imc will continu to take lives ., also from rated pilots. It proves that it should not be messed with .. And yet rated and unrated pilots continu to do just that.
