I'm profoundly confuse regarding the IMC rating:
Restricted Instrument Ratings (IMC / IR(R)) | Private Pilots | Personal Licences and Training
At the very beginning
A) " If you have an EASA or national UK aeroplane licence you can apply for a limited form of instrument rating."
fine. Say I have an EASA PPL.
B) "An IMC rating can also be added into a national UK PPL, but cannot be used in EASA aircraft after 8 April 2014."
What ist an EASA aircraft? What good is an EASA lic. /w UK-IMC as outlined in A) , if I cannot fly EASA aircraft?
Does this sentence mean a UK PPL + N-aircraft may still fly IMC
while the same UK PPL + G-aircraft is not allow to do so after April 8th?
Does something similar exist for PPL(H) Licenses?
Does EASA @2014-post-April8th provide any means of flying in IMC in uncontrolled airspace?
thx in advance
