Went out for a flight tonight at 8pm, fancied climbing up to 5000 and having a mess around in the clouds just to keep my hand in.
VFR I presume? How does that work? It's certainly verboten where I fly.
SRD is correct, all certs and kit in order but that does raise an interesting question, my understanding of the required equipment for IFR flight is your aircraft must have the equipment necessary to utilise (navigate and land) the navaids on your intended route of the flight, destination or alternate, but what if you only had access to an aircraft with a wet compass and a six pack and no nav radios or gps nav and just wanted to practice holding headings and altitudes in the clouds but outside controlled airspace and your take off and destination fields were reporting VFR for miles.
I know it is not advisable but is it illegal ?
