007, I guess I'm looking at it from the point of view of using an aircraft as a dependable form of transport which is the reason why PPLs do an IMC rating or I/R. I always felt safe in a radar/stormscope equipped twin with de-ice flown within the limits of my rating. However, I would not wish to be in IMC in a single for an extended period of time, however well equipped and I have been in a single with my family on board and I've turned around and gone home.
