Are IMC/IR pilots safer?
Interesting reading various other threads and was wondering if the above statement is correct or not.
I suppose it depends on when the pilot wishes to fly. Someone who is happy flying in only close-to-perfect conditions would probably not benefit from doing their IR or IMC.
I read time and time again about accidents caused by flights going from VFR into IMC when they should not.
IMC would enable pilots to get clear of most of the weather and hence a safer one..?
Why do more people not do the IMC, from the people I have spoken to it is not that popular which surprises me living in the UK. I realise there was talk of ditching the IMC this might put some off.
How much does it cost here in the UK? It would be something I would be interested in getting as soon as I could.
