Ice checks for IMC rating course
I've just had one of my IMC student pass his IMC test.
The examiner later told me not to bother teaching to do icing checks because it ups the work load and if there's any chance of icing then you wouldn't do the trip in a single with no de-ice anyway.
That surprised me.
No doubt any candidate couldn't be failed for doing ice checks if they weren't considered necessary by the examiner, but if an examiner disagreed with this one and required ice checks then, presumably, the candidate could be failed if he didn't do any.
What do the rest of you examiners require for this one.
