Let's say you take off on a long cross country with no forecast of icing.
By
the time you arrive at your destination, a 2,000-foot layer exist below
you
with temps of 30 F. You are getting low on fuel. Is it legal to descend
through the thin layer even if you are in an airplane without known icing?


Who knows? Better play it safe and run out of fuel above the clouds.
