The Imc rating isn't(wasn't) mentioned in the Jersey ANO and last time I
looked it was last updated in 1972! The Channel Island have always been a
bit of an anomaly and frequently geographically misunderstood. For example,
the geographic limits of coverage for the insurance on my Jodel are the UK,
Europe (excl FYR), N Africa North of 30N and West of 30E excl Libya, the
Canaries and transit airspace thereto. The CI are not part of the UK. They
are however part of the British Isles, so as I read it, I am covered for a
transit through CI airspace but not for a landing! The insurance for the
airline that I work for is worded the same way.
There have been claims in the past and I am not aware of any having been
refused.

IMC Rating valid in Isle of Man / Channel Islands?
