EnglishAl,
Are you saying that when using the IMC rating and have not declared an emergency, you will operate to IR minima?

I never said "in which you claimed that should you ever enter cloud unexpectedly on a VFR flight you would immediately put down in the nearest field, and consider yourself a failure for having to do so ..."
I stand by the posts I made in the thred you use as an example and I still say that faced with an unplanned excursion into IMC the precautionary landing will often be a safer option.
Had some pilots followed that then the population of Blackpool pilots would be 2 greather than it is today and also there would not have been the IMC CFIT in North Wales that killed one and ruined the life of another.
