I am still interested how pilots operating IFR / IMC in open FIR without a RIS view this.
I happen to live very near a VOR that is used a lot for training, is on a major airway and used by pilots operating both VFR and IFR. I find it interesting how often I see aircraft flying just below the base in and out of IMC. I know some of the aircraft are not IFR certified.
Do you just rely on the big sky theory to maintain seperation?
Do you wish in these circumstances every aircraft had a transponder?
Do you wish every pilot obeyed the rules and you could safely assume they would not be in front of you as you broke IMC?
How many of us have actually used TCAS in a light aircraft?
