DFC, I wonder if you could be so kind and answer the following question using the scenario I have provided:
Scenario:
You plan on flying a VFR flight from Exeter to Blackpool. At the planned departure time the visibilty for Exeter is CAVOK with no significant change forecast. The weather at Blackpool is Overcast at 200ft with a high probability of it staying so, which means the chances of you getting there are slim, but there is still a chance. You have 4 hours of fuel onboard and have made a contingency plan to land at Barton which is forecast VMC with no significant change in case conditions do not change at Blackpool.
Question: Taking into account the above scenario - Is it ILLEGAL for yourself to DEPART Exeter in excellent VMC with the intention of going to Blackpool using VFR only?
Simple question DFC, a one word answer will do fine, YES or NO?
