Do that. It hasn't been.


It's been required for more than sixty years. From "Digest of Civil
Air Regulations for Pilots", October 1943:

Applicant shall be familiar with and accomplish satisfactorily a
written examination covering so much of the provisions of Parts 01,
20, and 60 of the regulations as are pertinent to his certificate,
prevailing weather conditions in the United States as encountered in
flying, and the forecasting thereof, the analyzing of weather maps
and sequence reports as furnished by the United States Weather
Bureau, practical air navigation problems and the use of maps,
navigation by terrain (pilotage) and by dead reckoning, including the
use of instruments and other aids to navigation in visual contact
flying, and the general servicing and operation of aircraft.

You do realize that NONE of the above pertains to IAPs, don't you?

What parts of "...pertinent to his certificate...", or "...visual contact
flying..." confuses you so badly?
