EASA and IMC
I have just heard a rumour, that recently(ie last 3-4 days) there has been some news from EASA about grandfather rights for IMC holders. Any more news regarding this particular branch of the grapevine?

There is a rumour that existing holders will be allowed to continue to use the rating for their lifetime. I am not sure how that will work if the infrastructure for teaching the IMCR to new pilots disappears. Who will then revalidate the rating?
There are also rumours that EASA's FCL proposals have received the EU equivalent of a good kicking from the Commission and that any vote has been put off to at least December, so reports of the death of the IMCR may be premature.

The Commission chaired the meeting this week. The 'kicking' if any came from member states (it's their meeting).
But the IMCr issue will not be part of the current adoption process for the FCL Opinion. It will be dealt with when the FCL.008 proposals reach the Opinion stage - at least another year away probably as the NPA is not due until late in Q1-2011.
And before we all say 'timing' and 'co-ordination' the timing issue has been pointed out to EASA when FCL.008 started. I personally asked EASA for the IR / IMCr issues to be finalised in lEU law at the same time as the main FCL rules, in 2012. Otherwise there would be a 'regulatory operational gap'.
