The fact that this essential piece of pilot skill is about to be watered down because of pressure from EU states with a far worse safety record than the UK just illustrates the fact that EASA is not a safety regulator it is just another part of the EU cushy well paid job club.
Nope, we finally beat the buggers when the EC found the same way to retain the IMCR / IR(R) which I'd proposed 3 years earlier to EASA! Who wouldn't agree at the time, but have now been trumped by the EC.
So the IMCR / IR(R) is safe in UK airspace until at least 2019 and very probably in perpetuity thereafter!
