I flew yesterday, no one else at my airfield did they sat and ate chips and talked flying as the weather was 'crap'........ Most of them IMCR holders.
You said that yesterday and I let it go.

Do you think flying on instruments is like one of your contests in the playground?

Good for you that you flew yesterday. Actually when you claimed you flew yesterday both the TAFs and METARs were fine. The weather was always forecast to detiorate later in the day - and, guess what, it did, and you were back on the ground.

So what if you p^&ssed around the local cabbage patch in a bit of cloud and wind!

I suspect those sitting in the club house had a bit more sense. No where to go on such a miserable day and no good reason to go - unless you happen to work at the weekend.

.. .. .. but if that is what turns you on .. .. ..

Whether you have an IR or IMCr is not some sort of competition in who has got the most gold plate.

You really need to understand that each has its own use, and each in turn is potentially as good, or bad, as the pilot using it.

I think you will find that those with 10,000 hours in light aircraft usually are not so inclined to boast when they have a job to do and go fly in weather when they would far rather have their feet up in front of the fire.

When you go fly in your single in crap weather with the base on the deck it doesnt matter if you have an IR or not when the donkey stops you are going to kill yourself.
