The more of your posts that I read, the more concerned that I get. At this rate, you are going to end up as that statistic sooner rather than later.

If, for a second, you think that IMC @ 100ft AGL is part of the 'enroute sector' then you are nuts. Totally nuts. YOU CANNOT EVEN DESCEND TO 100ft ON AN ILS WHILST IMC.

One of the IFR rules is that you must be at least at MEA, unless on a published procedure. MEA (Minimum Enroute Altitude) is 1000ft about the closest obstacle. So, no, you can't descend to 100ft whilst IMC then think that you can continue visually. That's how people die (by flying into something which is also in the cloud that they are in).
