Yes, but then if the fan stops I feel, however stupidly, that I may stand a chance of putting it down with a greater chance of survival than if the same happened at night.
You know as well as I do that a fan stop at night is an 'aim at the dark bits' scenario.
I take your point which is a valid one. I guess it's about perceived risk. I would hope that I would have the airmanship not to put a passenger into a situation where I would need to be doing an IMC approach down to minima anyway. With another pilot I wouldn't think twice, however it's unfair to subject a non pilot to the same risk. Just IMO.
I sometimes take my eight year old grandson flying. The weather has to be perfect or as near as for me to do so.
