Flyer 43
an instrument trained pilot wouldn't normally have placed himself in such a position in the first place.
Unfortunately there are some pilots who would think that they are somehow bullet-proof because they hold the rating. If going inadvertent IMC they have a much better chance of controlling the aircraft solely on instruments but what about the obstacles nearby?
If you are flying visually, then the IFR LSALT is not at the forefront of your mind. You may plan a quasi "escape plan" but unless you know exactly where the inadvertent IMC is going to occur, there is alot of hit and miss.
Having an instrument rating does not guarantee anything. And as I heard on a TV commercial once - "I should know, I have one".
