Default Cloud Flying

I am confused. If you are flying VFR, whether you are in Class G, E, or
whatever, you need to stay clear of clouds as specified in FAR 91.155. If
you are going to be in a cloud, you need to be flying IFR. To do this, you
need to be on a flight plan, properly rated, and have an IFR equiped glider.



yea you got it, except for a few rare possibilities that you could
cloud fly in Class G, where a flight plan/clearance is not required.
The equipment required does not include transponders. And apparently
while Andy isnt quite grasping American, I need to work on my
English. Until then I'll be the guy at the beach wearing a tie...
