Hi BEagle,
Yes, I see your point.
Then again, if IMC conditions (in the clouds!) were restricted to IR rated pilots on a flight plan, then in effect it would become 'controlled' airspace.
I just don't like the idea of planes wandering in and out of IMC with no control!
As a matter of interest, how much training is involved in the IMC rating?
PS. I guess I'm just spoiled by the more extensive radar coverage in the US!
