K,
my dear fellow, joining the dots leads me in a slightly different direction and a different question.
Why do around 80% of US private pilots hold an instrument rating, and almost 100% of commercial pilots?
The answer my friend is blowing in the wind, because hardly any private pilots in Australia hold that qualification.
Why?
Could it be that in the USA it is very affordable? Clear, concise standards, laid out in clear concise regulations
make operating an aircraft there considerably less than in Australia, therefore gaining an instrument rating is not the expensive, convoluted odious exercise it is here.
Why?
When "Safety" is supposed to be CAsA's core function.
