Jim,
Nigel is discussing the UK and Europe.
The proposed License change affects the UK.
If the UK License changes then it does have some effect in the UK.
Our FAA is well known for giving totally accurate but totally useless responses.
Did the CAA adopt that practice as well as Part 27/29?
I repeat the question.
What is the chances we shall see Single Engine Helicopters flying IMC in the UK?
As you have posted in the past you said the Authorities can add requirements to ICAO conventions. Thus, the USA, UK, and EASA could do just that and allow Single Engine Helicopters to fly IMC.
Rub your hands over your Crystal Ball and tell us what you see?
