The use of the IR(R) is at the pilot's discretion and there is no presumption of intent.
Training and Threat and Error Management principles should encourage newly-qualified IR(R) holders not to attempt to run before they're sufficiently experienced at walking.
Some IR holders seem to be of the opinion that flight under IFR outside CAS (e.g. IMC in Class G) is something really difficult. The fact is that it isn't, provided that the flight has been properly planned.
Isn't that so,
bookworm?
