Also, if the weather is VFR, there is nothing stopping us VFR pilots from filing an IFR flight plan and flying in, as long as we maintain VFR. This would further add to the congestion. Well, nothing except the FARs 61.3 (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: It looks like the FAR you listed specifically says "IFR" or "weather less than VFR". If the weather is VFR (as I stated) then you only need a safety pilot, who does not need to be instrument rated. Otherwise, how do you train for IFR? Always have an instrument rated safety pilot?
