85mel - glad your son was able to include an IR(R) on his licence!
Do you know if this will contain all the priveleges of the IMC rating then?
This is different from the e IR its all very confusing and unclear as to what they are doing!
Have you been on Mars for the last couple of years, or what? The IR(R) is identical in ALL respects - privileges, limitations, revalidation and renewal requirements - to the IMC Rating.
The EIR does not yet exist; all it might do is to add IFR cruising privileges to a VFR licence. It does not include any IFR approach privileges of any kind whatsoever and is
COMPLETELY DIFFERENT IN ALL RESPECTS to the IMC Rating.....
