VMC definition in Class D and pilot medical Self-Declaration, that’s the “take back control” for now
Some stuff will be fiasco unless UK converges back to EU law soon or just push it all together pre-JAR: IMCr rating future, Basic IR introduction and Part-Glide are 3 examples, where things are in “bad state half-way”…

Give it time
The IMCR has been preserved and that is big. One could argue that Brussels would not have been able to terminate it, but we don’t know that, and that did remain the plan.
The PMD is also big, with reportedly half of the UK GA scene using it.
The problem is that the ANO is just as unreadable as EASA regs, but at least you know where to find the latest version

… and it appears to contradict SERA/PART-NCO – ANO says (as I read it) that for any IFR flight you need a DME, while it is not the case in SERA/PART-NCO.

Yes, and the ORS4 exceptions to SERA continue to apply, the most important ones being:
In general all of these exceptions are to be LESS restrictive than EASA, which I believe is a good thing. Are there any examples where the UK is “more” restrictive than EASA?

Yp to last year, it was quite clear that this requirement in the ANO had no legal force as EU legislation always override national legislation. Now it is not at all clear as in the UK part-NCO is not EU legislation anymore but national legislation which have adopted the text of the EU legislation.
So now there is indeed an interesting contradiction.

Strictly speaking, none of these are less restrictive than EASA, as SERA explicitly allows member states to make these kinds of changes. They are, of course, less restrictive than the default in SERA.

It’s been around for years, but apparently updated the other day. Thanks for noticing. (I keep copies of the most important regulations.)
