Are you kidding? Have you ever tried to find an ANO reference for anything?
I can't make heads or tails out of that silly document. You're much more technically correct that I intended to be. I was only trying to point out the original poster was in error about the IMC rating. Shawn "Peter" wrote in message ... "ShawnD2112" wrote You need an IMC rating to fly in IMC but it doesn't give you the full priveleges of an IR (Class A use, for instance). It is merely to teach you to fly in marginal weather. Do you have an ANO reference for the last sentence of the above? The IFR privileges of the UK IMC Rating are essentially those of the JAA IR, but limited to the UK, no Class A, and 1800m min vis. Everything else is an opinion; fair enough but it's just that. One can do perfectly safe fully-IFR flights, in solid IMC, with its privileges. Just like the full IR, it needs currency and a suitable aircraft and these cost serious time and money. Unfortunately it's no good outside the UK, for IFR. Its possession removes the UK PPL *VFR* requirement to be in sight of surface and that removal is valid everywhere where they have not added the "must be in sight of surface" requirement to the ICAO PPL (got that in writing from the CAA). |
