You're making it up as you go along, once again DFC. This is in your imagination, not in the legislation.
Bookworm,

Try this one;

Weather reports and forecasts
7.
—(1) Subject to paragraph (2), immediately before an aircraft flies the commander of the aircraft shall examine the current reports and forecasts of the weather conditions on the proposed flight path, in order to determine whether Instrument Meteorological Conditions prevail, or are likely to prevail, during any part of the flight.
(2) Paragraph (1) shall only apply if it is reasonably practicable for the commander to obtain current reports and forecasts of the weather conditions on the proposed flight path.

Now please explain how you can depart on a VFR flight from A to B if in accordance with 7(1) you have determined that at some stage you will encounter IMC?

The saying goes that rules are for the obedience of idiots and the guidance of wise men. Well what can we do to force idiots to obey the rules so that they may live to become wise men?

Perhaps it is time that people who act anti-socially in the aviation community by breaking the law i.e. those that will fly IFR, IMC and declare themselves to be VFR, do not plan properly, use non-approved approach aids for IMC approaches, those that use inappropriate minima on IFR flights - and VFR flights and so on are treated with the same contempt that we treat the local yobs on the street corner harassing old people.

Lets reverse the peer pressure to flout the law and push the limits and disregard CAA and other authority safety information (which is often seen on here for example) and put more effort into peer presure to do things legally and safely.

Regards,

DFC
