How much fuel do you prefer to carry?
writes:
If you are in class G at 10,001 feet and the visibilty is 4.5 miles,
you are in IMC.
If you drop down to 9,999 feet with the same visibilty, you are in VMC.
If you are 2001 feet horizontally from a cloud, you only about 0.3
seconds away from not being able to see anything. Are you ready for
that?
Have you a clue yet how ridiculous your absolute statements are?
Not having an aircraft that can manage Mach 5, it's hard for me to put your
claim in perspective.
What puzzles me is that you're trying to justify behavior that is
extraordinarily unwise. Trying to see how close you can come to inadequate
visibility without actually flying by instruments is asking for trouble. I
can only assume that you are doing this because I'm advocating reliance on
instruments, despite the fact that I'm just repeating some very
well-established principles of aviation.
