: Imagine the blind spots in the UK for I/R students since the only artifical visual inhibitors allowed in the UK for I/R training are IF Screens (louvered blinds over the pilot side windows)... LOTs of blind spots generated by those. Man, but that sure sounds like an accident waiting for a place to happen. For the IMC rating, foggles or hoods are acceptable, but for I/R it must be screens so the student can't "cheat" by peeking out the corner of his eye. Sure sounds like a bit of overzealous bureaucracy trading safety for accuracy. You sure it didn't come from this side of the pond? The other side makes this side look positively liberal. They don't even allow GPS approaches at all. They're still depending mostly on NDB's. GPS is a U.S. innovation too new & undependable for use in the UK. There are some instructive threads on PPRuNe forums, particularly Rotorheads on this subject. -- Regards, Stan |
