If scattered or broken is not good enough for you then I can only imagine you dont go very far.
Fuji,
Given your normal good nature, I take it that you're not deliberitly trying to be insulting, and you've just grossly misread my post.
Nowhere in my post did I say that I don't fly when there is a scattered or broken layer.
Nowhere did I say that I won't fly above a scattered or broken layer.
The only mention in my post of broken and scattered layers was:
Those talking about forecasts of Sct or Bkn at the destination have gotten too use to instrument flying! No VFR only pilot with any sense will fly over an overcast relying on a weather forecast for a way back down. We all know that they can't be relied on like that.
Anyone who is flying over an overcast relying on a forecast of a SCT or BNK at their destination is going to be regularly disappointed by the forecast. If their plan B for the occasions when the forecast SCT or BKN turns out to be OVC is to make an illegal trip into IMC then they shouldn't be surprised if the authorities start to ask questions about their decision making.
I really can't belive that you can't see that.
