I never had an issue with descending to MSA in IMC. All perfectly normal avaition practice. My question goes beyond the MSA stage. So I will ask the question again: Is it legal for a private pilot to descend (in IMC) to say (for the sake of this thread) 400' MDH on a DIY approach?
Do not assume my level of experience or qualifications from my posts here, I choose not to advertise them. However they are such that your patronising tone is amusing. My only fault here is my ability to express myself, but then we all fall foul of that on these forums from time to time.
