So .... Are we saying that there should be another look at getting ( properly equipped ) singles up high and safe rather than scudding around trying to stay vfr ?? When you look at the apparent statistics for all ifr flights it looks compelling . The illogical fear of an engine failure versus inadvertent ifr and then CFIT should be challenged . I know a large number of excellent pilots who have flown and do fly ifr in singles and the one thing they all have in common is that they feel a lot safer above the obstacles and not amongst them . If and when I get another single , I shall almost certainly follow their lead and either land or go up rather than grovel !!
Will the lunatics who run this asylum even look at this as a possible safety development , as per the IMC for planks ???
