All of this technology is available, is it not?


Yes it is. It's called a VASI. If you can't see that, you can't see a
laser beam either.

Toronto Island is a tricky airport. Between the smog of Hogtown and
the weather overLlake Ontario, there are a LOT of poor visibility
days. Single Pilot IFR is not TOO dangerous if you are an accomplished
IFR pilot and familiar with the airport. You want to be GOOD at the
IFR thing. Being good takes lots of practice.
Remember the Bonanzas?
Lots of Doctors and lawyers


Nope. Not lawyers. They're fork-tailed doctor killers.

I like doctors but they are remiss at gassing up. Mostimes they run out of
fuel. Hell. One ran out of fuel and landed his B00nanza in the lot at
Epcot Center.
