Only about 20 folks do the JAA PPL IR now per year
in the UK (see the CAA stats)
The IR has been hijacked by the 'professionals' in JAA countries - quite unlike the ICAO system that views it as a rating for PPLs to fly on instruments
I am afraid that many people I know who are in business
have elected to buy American Twins and use the
FAA IR in when travelling in the EU. - Quite legally and safely
The JAA-FCL all got too expensive for them and too
time consuming.
