| Jan 29, 2020 at 0:29 | comment | added | jamesqf | I think you need to clarify the question a bit. Do you mean a non-instrument rated pilot flying into instrument conditions (basically suicide), or an instrument-rated pilot going from VFR into instrument conditions without bothering to file an IFR flight plan? Which someone might do fairly safely if there's no other traffic in the area. | |

That little voice in the head that sounds like your first CFI talking to you about old, bold pilots. That kind of thing. | |
