Scud running is unacceptable and extremely dangerous for all the obvious reasons, even with the best equiped aircraft and the most experienced pilots. Who gives a **** about the regulations, this kind of flying will kill you.

I speak from experience and I was lucky enough to survive on many occasions scud running and pushing the limits in rubbish weather, sometimes in VFR aeroplanes. Was I stupid, YES! It’s called experience. However I’ve lost good mates who have done the same and met their final fate! All in PNG.

Food for thought people….
