Everyone seems to get terribly excited about flying an ILS to minima.
I would like to know where is the evidence that flying an ILS approach to minima is so very risky.
I have read plenty of FAA accident reports involving ILS approaches. There are many cases of loss of control during the approach phase but very few of these seem to be solely attributable to a pilot who is unable to fly the needles accurately.
Moreover the reality is it is rare for a private pilots to fly to minima. The very personna of private flying is not too fly in the most challenging conditions, unless you are flying regularly in all weather. Unless that is something you regularly attempt it is very very rare to encounter conditions to minima on an ILS.
Why is it we need to regulate personal discipline from private flying.
Personally all other factos being equal I find the final approach of an ILS one of the easiest aspects of instrument flying.
