Minimums in singles
On a recent visit to France I was interested in the low minimum many UK pilots were willing to depart in a single. A few I spoke to had lapsed IMC's and were well aware that in any case the IMC was not valid in France. We are all aware of the recommended UK minimum, but since it is all anonymous I was interested in peoples own experiences and what they are prepared to accept. In particular I always worry about fog. Ignoring for a moment the risks on departure the conditions are often excellent VFR above but not much chance of a forced landing. Then again what is the difference with night - turn on the light and if you don’t like what you see switch it off again.
