I have had the IMC rating now for about 3 years I fly in the south of the UK from a small flying club and Bournemouth and Southampton. I am amazed at the number of people who think that the IMC rating is a get you out of jail card and not a very useful qualification to have and use. Is it just me or do you IMC holders fly IFR in the UK when the weather is not to hot. And I am talking about overcast at 1000 ft with no forcast reduction and no ice conditions. Am I being silly or are there that many people out there that do the rating never use it and then hope that the one time they get in the SH*T that it will save them.
Over to you?
