Code Blue, a fair point well made.
I guess what would be more accurate to say is percieved commensurate risk. We will have to stay subjective as there are no relevant stats to draw on.
However. The anecdotal evidence by Yogi-Bear is compelling. I would add to it the C172 "LJ" crash in the Berwyns in Feb 1999 killing three.
I have experienced radar service (mil) being terminated because its 5pm on a Friday - its uncontrolled IMC flight time again! How would we legislate for that?
Rolling Circle, OK I believe you but the AAIB are certainly not pushing for changes to IMC rating or uncontrolled/ATCseperated IMC flight at the present time.
Good debate chaps, do keep it up.
