ask your flight nurse to remove her nails from the flight paramedic’s thigh
Fly911 - you really are leaving yourself wide open for justifiable critique. You seem to think that IIMC is a bit of a giggle.

TC is not the HEMS pilot who has been IIMC 3 times - you are. That is not something to be proud of. If the UK CAA is reluctant to allow single pilot, Night VFR, HEMS operations it is for a very good reason. Perhaps they are aware of the tragic statistics in USA?

Instead of investing in a 'synthetic vision' device which is merely something to cause more distractions for a VFR pilot who should be looking out of the window, why not simply read the local weather report or look outside.

If you think that a 'wings level and climb' response to IIMC is an acceptable way out of IIMC then you might just find yourself at 10,000 feet in cloud and icing conditions with no idea of how to get out of it. A slower way of killing yourself and your crew but just as predictable as descending into a hillside.

Stop being a 'hero' and try making some professional descisions.
