Hi all,
With the lack of flying at the moment I have been looking at other ways to fill my time and have revisited the possibility of doing my IR(R). However, while I understand that it can be a life saver and can help you fly when the conditions are less than CAVOK - the more basic questions I have are:
Does anyone know or can give an opinion on the validity of the rating in 2021 - I did read that it may by superseded ?
Does the current syllabus still use NDB's and is this likely to change as these nav aids become rarer ? This is partly prompted by the Shoreham NDB question in the General thread and may be a silly question due to the treacle like pace at which things change in UK aviation.
As always thanks in advance
