What's "safe"? I fly a fair amount of IMC in an aircraft with an
old but rock-solid COM/COM/NAV/ADF stack (plus a panel LORAN that
flakes out in precip and a NAV-11 which I'd file under "mostly
adequate"), and it's within *my* level of acceptable risk, but
that's almost completely an individual call under part 91.

Right. Personally, I think that safety flying in IMC comes mostly
from the ability to prioritize, defer, and negotiate, not from any
extra equipment in the plane.

Neither trait can stand on its own as "adequate".
