How soon can you use IMCR privileges?
Hi Guys,
Can anybody please advise me. I am hoping to do the IMCR in May. Soon afterwards, I shall want to go touring, and I should like to be able to use the new rating during my touring trip.
Once I have the pass form (assuming I do pass), if I then take it and my licence to the Belgrano at Gatwick, will they add the new rating to my licence while I wait? Or must I leave my licence with them and then wait weeks while they add the IMCR to my licence and mail the amended licence back to me?
Anybody know the answer?

If you mean, visit Aviation House and sit and wait for it to be issued then yes they generally do offer that service. Usually drop it off in the morning and collect again in the afternoon.

Good luck with your IMC flying. I got my IMCR then never used it due to the real-world, practical considerations discussed ad nauseam on this forum.
Nice to have another string to your bow though, and it looks nice in the book.

When the CAA's licencing dept. was in Kingsway in London, an early morning dropoff then a day out in the Capital was a pretty good way of celebrating the event. You could still do that, get the courtesy bus back to Gatwick, then the Express into town (or the fleshpots of Brighton, if you prefer)
