Final EASA SE-IMC rule expected in five years
The European Union has begun the rulemaking process that could lead to approval of single-engine commercial air transport operations in instrument
met

The European Union has begun the rulemaking process that could lead to approval of single-engine commercial air transport operations in instrument
meteorological conditions or at night (SE-IMC/night). However, approval is not expected to take effect until the middle of the next decade.

SE-IMC/night is equivalent to operations under U.S. single-engine instrument flight rules. Formal consideration of SE-IMC is a component of the 2009-12 European Aviation Safety Agency (EASA) work program.
