Yes, it's a nuisance losing LPV minima in the UK, but I suspect it won't be permanent, and the only people who are likely to be affected still have access to ILS at the present time so I personally think this whole issue is more about Brexit woes than real life politics.
If this is aimed at me I’m afraid I tried , really tried, to get on with the FNPT 2 during IR training at an outfit down South .
I was fitted in at 730 am or 7 pm amongst the CPL sausage machine . I had a 240 mile round trip, wasted money on B&B and hotels and the Sim didn’t work : no brakes or steering so the (excellent and apologetic) instructor started each sortie from 2000ft . Then after I’d blown 5 kilo-squids and got nowhere the sim caught fire and I was sent home.
I told them to shove it and finished IR in an aeroplane.
IMHO sims are like hypnotism : there are people who cannot be conned into being hypnotised and there are those who
can’t be conned into thinking that sitting in a clanky immobile Sim with dodgy dials is anything like real IMC
edit: grammar.
