(Evo - I would have thought that RANT was perfect for IMC rather than OTT. I know I hadn't a clue about tracking NDB's on fixed card ADF's - even with an IMC rating. An hour or two of RANT - with the right instruments selected - would have solved that problem).

RANT is excellent, no doubt - one of the best training aids that I've got. However, it makes it very easy to get hung up about HSIs, ADF dip, gates, DME arcing and all sorts of other things that you'll never need for the IMC.

Evo - et al. - very true.
There are many instruments in the package that you will likely never need - for an IMC or PPL.............so don't turn them on.

Just leave the damned thing set on fixed card ADF and simple CDI style VOR.

Still well worth the money.

a) I think that the radio license which you must get as part of your PPL course covers the operation of whatever radio you have IN THE AIRCRAFT, so a license is required only if you are to use the transceiver outside it

That bit is correct

but !!!!

The radio set itself needs to be licenced as do the radios installed in the aircraft.
