Yes you may be right that the pilot was on the line on the map. But the point still is valid, a low performance aircraft ( and I include anything that is a light twin or single engine piston in that ) which is operating with those tolerances in the weather conditions stated could very easily enter the airspace before remedial action could be taken. Then were would the pilot be? Is it really that important to excercise your right to fly on the line of CAS when there is no need in poor weather conditions?
If the pilot was a professional or very experienced PPL what example does it set for less experienced pilots?
