His twin brother just scribbled a lovely girl - plus a couple of others - on her wedding day.

It'll be this fool's turn to destroy a whole family's future next.

For those who have been following the 'bride' thread - notice on the video in this link that the only time he has a change in attitude (roll in particular) is when he is half in the cloud towards the end and has conflicting information presented by his display and the ground.

It is that 'semi-IMC' that can be so disorientating as you go in and out of cloud at low level and result in the IIMC nightmare.

alphanumeric, it's my understanding that a handful of 407s have been upgraded with the systems redundancies needed for IFR, in the US at least. In terms of "limited IFR" though, it either is...or it isn't, right?

Standard machine is vfr only.
There may be one or two special cases around.

If you had a clear beneath cloud base of a Thousand feet....and were IFR/IMC....with a backup AI with a back up power supply....is there a reason why you could not safely fly IMC?

Single Engine, single Generator....flat ground and known to be clear underneath....could you do it?

Granted with a Thousand Foot Ceiling and Three Miles vis...it would be VFR.

Less than Three Miles but say....One Mile vis.....could you do it without great risk?

Nobody should fly IMC in anything that small: No backup Attitude indicator, auxiliary power supply or spare engine.

In fact nobody should fly anything that small at all.

Don't worry, if you cut down on the biscuits, in time you could fit in one again.
