Single Engine (Piston) IFR

Hi All!

I am currently nearing the end of my instrument rating and have been having some discussions with fellow students regarding the safety (or lack thereof) regarding flying SEP IFR trips in IMC conditions.

What exactly would you do, when flying IMC and you experience an engine failure? (Assuming prevailing conditions pertain to difficulty reaching VMC)

The thought of flying some sort of non precision approach, at night time with weather near minima and high surrounding terrain seems rather daunting!

I would sincerely appreciate any feedback anyone has regarding this.

Food for thought and healthy discussion nonetheless?!

Cheers

Arctic
