I was on the point of raising an objection to this high-handed Belgranist behaviour, but then one of my FIs (a ba 767 captain) went and failed his IMC test with a CAA examiner in one of the rear seats.....
Beags, am going to show my ignorance here but no doubt you will put me right - I had assumed that a valid (UK) ATPL included IMC Rating privileges without the need for an IMC renewal flight test - from your comment it would seem that is not the case?
