Zero. I would fly VFR, without them.
How could you get away with flying VFR 100% of the time?
Easy. It is all I do. 300 hours last year so it must be doable

Where do you live?


Colorado Springs CO. Actually fly out of 00V.

Two things...first, I'm guessing that the airspace around Colorado
Springs is controlled, yes? So even if you go VFR, you still have to
talk to someone.

Second, how the hell can you find 300 hours a year of VMC in Colorado?
We get that where I live now, but I wouldn't have been able to do that
in Indiana. Unless I was into scud running, which I'm not.
