Sometimes on this site you have to throw in a curved ball to get people to react and not just sit back and read . I do not intend to be on this site re cfit , i assure you . Do i fly in poor wx? Yes because i am careful and if i didnt i would rarely fly at all !!!! ( This is yorkshire ) This type of flying can only be done safely with practice and is not for new ppl, s i agree and i have never advocated them "pushing on " . One very good idea to come out of this has to be the sim and encouraging pilots to do the flights into reducing viz . If there could be a push to offer some evenings incl watching other people get into trouble and with an instructor talking it through, that would be a step in the right direction .
Ref my comments on earlier posts....i fully accept that the F W,s , Helimuts etc may have far more skills than i possess . My problem is that we have so many good brains available to try to help reduce the high level of cfit and yet we seem to be unable to come up with anything better than ..stick to the rules ...dont fly if there is any poor wx ..etc How many of the pilots in these incidents had more ifr training than the basics ? Do ifr rated ppl,s ( prob not many of them ) and cpl,s suffer cfit less ? I still believe there could be a way of doing actual in a single cheaply . ( there are 206 and 500,s out there with full ifr kit )
