A question on the points raised in your 24 July post.

Concerning an FAA IR used in a G reg flown in France etc.

You stated it is allowed to fly out of sight of the surface outside of controlled airspace, do you mean fly by the French definition of VMC rather than in IMC?

You also gave the impression that you can fly in actual IMC , but again outside of controlled airspace. Does this then exclude approaches in IMC and transits of C D and E airspace in IMC?

If so this makes the use of an FAA IR in a G reg pretty restricted.

You also in two different posts mentioned that credit would be given for instrument hours flown when undertaking training for an FAA IR, but you gave two different figures, 50 hours, and 40 hours.

Sorry to ask the questions, but the topic is of great interest, and any clarification very welcome.
