There's nothing stopping VFR pilots from filing an IFR flight plan, but the FAR requirement* for the PIC to be instrument rated and current. * http://ecfr.gpoaccess.gov/cgi/t/text....1.1.2&idno=14 § 61.3 Requirement for certificates, ratings, and authorizations ... (e) Instrument rating. No person may act as pilot in command of a civil aircraft under IFR or in weather conditions less than the minimums prescribed for VFR flight unless that person holds: (1) The appropriate aircraft category, class, type (if required), and instrument rating on that person's pilot certificate for any airplane, helicopter, or powered-lift being flown; But http://ecfr.gpoaccess.gov/cgi/t/text....2.4.5&idno=14 § 91.109 Flight instruction; Simulated instrument flight and certain flight tests. ... (b) No person may operate a civil aircraft in simulated instrument flight unless— (1) The other control seat is occupied by a safety pilot who possesses at least a private pilot certificate with category and class ratings appropriate to the aircraft being flown. seems to permit Simulated instrument flight in VMC without mention of the PIC having an instrument rating on his pilot certificate. The question then becomes, is Simulated instrument flight in VMC conducted under VFR or IFR? |
