Instrument sertifikat for privatflygere

Likner litt på min opplevelse da jeg fløy med mexikanske flygere i Campechegulfen for mange år siden. Ingen hadde IFR rating, men de fløy hele tiden i IMC. Jeg spurte hvordan dette kunne ha seg. "It`s no problem as long as we maintain wings level".

EASA Rules Ease Up Instrument Ratings for Private Pilots
Under new EASA rules, pilots can count flight in IMC toward earning their instrument ratings.

The European Aviation Safety Agency (EASA) has made it possible for private pilots to obtain a full European instrument rating in an alternative, flexible, "competency-based modular" way. In addition to a private pilot license, a candidate can use a UK IMC rating or an overseas (FAA, for example) instrument rating as the basis, along with experience logged flying in IMC or under instrument flight rules.

On August 1 the UK CAA released an Information Notice stating: "The European Aircrew Regulation [EC Regulation 1178/2011] has introduced an alternative route to obtaining an instrument rating (IR) that is often referred to as the 'competency-based instrument rating' (CBIR). The CBIR is available for aeroplanes only. The privileges of the CBIR do not include flying 'high-performance aeroplanes' (HPA) under IFR unless further theoretical knowledge is obtained."
