Interestingly Viagra is an approved medication, the only stipulation is that it is not taken within 6 hours of flying
Have you got a reference for that?

It's absolutely hilarious!!!

Reminds me of that helicopter pilot who got busted by the FAA (Search youtube for Martz ... )

TBH if I had an autopilot which can fly an ILS I would make damn sure I know how to operate that - as well as every other piece of avionics in such a plane.

The traditional UK way of getting people down when stuck in IMC or above a cloud is to send them off somewhere where nothing big is sticking up, and let them descend - or variations on that. But that is a very sub-optimal way of doing it. A pilot technically (but not legally) capable of instrument flight has many better options.
