IMC Rating and IR?
Had an interesting experience at my local flying club the other week where a solo QCC had essentially got stuck at our airfield with closing cloud in a C172 that had an instrument fit in it.
All the instructors were busy and I was the only one not flying with an IR. He asked would I be able to fly him back to his home airfield. I said I couldn't because my IR is only valid on multi pilot airplanes.
Speaking to another guy yesterday who has a similar license and he said that the MPA IR carries across as an IMC rating regardless, asked our CFI who also thought this was the case.
I've checked the CAP and searched the internet but I can only find something along these lines in LASORS.
Anyone any insight in to whether I can operate my multi crew IR and carry this across as an IMC rating. Our CFI is a top guy very knowledgable so I have no reason not to believe him, but just wanted to make sure before I go blasting off illegally.
Thanks.
