CPL (H) without IR

[CharlieDontSurff]

Hello there,

I'm curious to know what kind of jobs are about that don't require an IR (apart from instructing and sightseeing). With it costing upwards of £40K, I wondered if it is a worthwhile investment for someone who may not utilise it for offshore/HEMS etc.

So, does general charter require an IR?
Shuttling guests to and thro sporting events?
Ariel work such as heli-logging/surveying?

Thanks in advance...
