Agreed of course, but IF I was to enter IIMC it's already too late, but would prefer to be in a shallow 30 kt decent than tanking along blind trying to maintain adequate control...
That Squire....is choosing between two very poor Options...both of which shall get you killed in a very dramatic but boring fashion.

Unskilled, un-current, un-proficient, un-prepared Pilots in under-equipped helicopters is never a situation that turns out for the good when it comes to IIMC flight.

The key is setting safe limits and sticking to them.

A nice Pub Lunch and a coffee while you wait for the weather to improve beats pushing up Daisy Roots by far.

I used to be a very dedicated Scud Runner but never went IIMC....but I met some very nice people in the oddest of places.

I set limits to what weather I would fly in...and always had the mindset that I would never fly faster than I could see-avoid-land....safely.

I never did my silliness in the dark.

Always have Taxi Fare in your Flight Case in case you need it.
