I posted this on another thread but I think it's more appropriate here.
Can a basic PPL file an IFR flightplan IF they stay in VFR throughout the flight?
If that is so, then if you were to file an IFR flightplan without a IR or IMC rating and were then vectored into IMC conditions I presume you would downgrade your RAS to a RIS and stay VFR. Would this consequently mean the cancellation of your IFR flightplan completely or could you resume the flightplan once clear of the weather?
I am desparate to learn instrument flying but it's the usual problem, temporary lack of funds!
