Few light aircraft pilots have the hours and experience required to reliably and safely use an aircraft for business. The get home-itis inspired by one's car at the destination airfield tempts the businessman into weather and situations best avoided.
We tuggies at Shenington gliding club, having stopped operations because of lowering cloudbase, poor viz and a light drizzle, will never forget watching a Cessna 180 (whose wife and car were waiting for him) attempt an arrival downwind. Touched down well over half way, kept right on going through the hedge at the end of the runway.
His accident report blamed the airfield (uncontrolled, non radio).
