"
If I wanted to be able to travel around the UK in all weather (say, had a business where I was on a constant call-out and the work was of very high value) I would buy a turbine helicopter, probably a Gazelle, and get a military instructor to train me to fly it. Or something newer with an autopilot - I believe there are some American single engine turbine helis that have an AP even though very few singles are approved for IFR (of course this is entirely N-reg context). A friend of mine sells a lot of this stuff."
IO540, The belief that a non-IFR helicopter such as a Gazelle is an "all weather" way of getting around UK on "high value work" is a recipe for getting a low-time pilot killed, and has done on many occasions in the past.
