I hereby appoint soaringhigh650 as my sexual advisor....
As for
the plight of many pilots across Europe who all want more accessible qualifications for instrument flying
you'll find that it was only the French who actually bothered to propose a national IR before the leaden hand of FCL.008 descended. None of the other Member States did....
As has been said, try and find anyone with the right qualifications to teach the EIR and/or C-bM IR, at least in the short-to-near term, and you'll be looking long and hard.
The UK fully supports the EIR, C-bM IR and SCFR. But unless the Draft Opinion is amended to include the flexibility of JAR-FCL 1.175(b), it will NOT be possible for the UK to vote honestly for the Draft Opinion at comitology. For which Goudou and his gang of €urocrats can rightly be held to blame.
