Hi all,

I am just wondering about the new directive, re; IMC/IR(R) and the notification to the CAA that they (CAA) must be informed of pilots' currency.

Is this is to either allow the rating to be used after a certain date (if there are enough current IMC rated pilots both training and retraining)?

Or, will the CAA take the line that there are not enough pilots training or retraining?

The consequence of that is, the rating will just disappear into the ether and that will be that.

Sorry I don't have the references to hand.

The requirement to submit the SRG1176 is, as far as I know, to comply with EASA now it's also an EASA IR(R) rating in the Part FCL licence. Also we ,(FEs) were told to complete and submit this form sometime ago and I was surprised that it was in IN as a supposed new addition.

It was in the recent IN because a number of FEs haven't bothered to comply with the requirement to submit revalidation/renewal paperwork, I'm told...

This has been a requirement for some time now, but FEs can be their own worst enemies, as their compliance with other regulatory requirements, such as those for the NPPL, sadly indicate.

Is there anything in there regarding whether an IR(R) is valid / invalid if the form has not been submitted to the CAA?
