No. Our VFR rules are much the same as yours. The difference is that, outside CAS, we can go VFR-IFR-VFR without any formality.
Thanks Mach Jump for the clarification.
I presume you mean VMC-IMC-VMC without formality.
I do still find it unusual to allow IMC flight like this, even or more especially outside controlled airspace. Even though I would consider it highly irregular it makes more sense to allow it in controlled airspace where someone is keeping and eye on things.
Do you, when flying IMC adhere to the IFR cruising levels etc?
I just hope none of you poms try this if you ever come over our way. There's already been far too much bent metal on our hillsides where some locals (usually inadvertently) have practiced the art of IMC VFR flight(I know that is a bit of an oxymoron, but it best describes the scenario).
