Huh (to the second part of your statement)?

Uh, maybe more foot -in-my-mouth? :-) I mean that it's illegal to be
in IMC without a clearance, IOW, under the control of ATC.


Actually, that's not quite true. You are required to have an IFR
flight plan and ATC clearance before you can fly in IMC within
controlled airspace (or within Class A regardless of the weather).

If you're outside controlled airspace, this rule doesn't apply.

But ... that's a whole 'nuther can-o-worms ;-)

But in VMC
it's highly probable, outside of B airspace, that there are aircraft
not under ATC control.
