Except the statistics say otherwise. Once you get in the 800-1000
hour range, especially if you do it fairly quickly, all VFR, an IFR
rating will add little to nothing to your flying skills other than
being able to be legal.


In my experience this isn't the case at all. In fact, it would be just
the reverse.


According to AOPA, the majority of the fatal accidents involving VFR flight into IMC
have pilots with instrument ratings.

been looking for it.
