Can't believe AOPA is doing this kind of proposition to the CAA.
Why? 'Advisory' limits are utterly meaningless and merely give ammunition to IMCr / IR(R) detractors who like to suggest that it is a rating for amateurs who are quite happy to ignore limits.

Or have I flushed out a couple of scud runners?

All the ones I know wouldn't think twice about going down to mins. In fact most if not all IMC examiners that I know tested down to IR minimums.

On the bias that if they need it they better know how to do it. There is one that teaches down to 50ft, for when the poo hits the fan and sod the mins.
Little wonder that the IMCr has such a poor reputation in some quarters...
