When I got my Instrument Rating years ago, an old friend mailed me and said..."Congratulations on becoming a REAL pilot! Of course, now that you're a REAL pilot, you can get into REAL trouble, REAL fast!"

Never having worked in circumstances where such an extra "edge", as it were, might make a difference, I offer an observation with caution.

Surely, the key issue remains deciding when to go or not to go rather than depending further on systems which will leave you wandering around in the gloop, in the dark, depending entirely on everything being 100%, as Crab noted, and with limited or no options if it isn't?

Near the ground, in poor vis, we ought really to be looking out....

....shouldn't we?
