In Europe we have to do a checkride each year for the IR. I pray
for some nice IMC. It's usually smooth (Texans note, YMMV) and the
airspace is much quieter.

That's why I scheduled my first IFR flight test (Canadian ones are
biennial) for 8:00 am. I was hoping for morning fog and smooth air,
and I got 400 ft ceilings.


Out here in Arizona, we get about ten IMC days a year....maybe.
