God some of you guys are chippy !!!! Why not do charter in a 500 ??? ( other than comfort !) How would a twin have made any difference ??? What is the big deal about letting down in a field ? it is not something you want to make a habit of but for gods sake dont knock it . I would tell any low time pilot to do exactly that . I have landed in fields a few times and not even shut down and been flying again in 10 mins with no worries with the bad weather behind me. To say that the last few days have been unflyable is nonsense , i would not like to have you as my pilot if you feel a few clouds and cb,s stops you from doing your job
actually , in between the weather the viz was excellent but it would appear that he could not go around his front so landed .....big deal
ps all my flights went like clockwork .....even without an IR and with only one engine
