Decent below MDA, Legal?

That's another good example -- I assume that your rules are the same
as ours, and that in Class G VFR you need to be 500 ft below the
clouds above 1000 ft AGL, but only clear of cloud below that.


In the US, VFR minimums in Class G airspace, 1,200 feet or less above the
surface, during the day, or at night if the airplane is operated within 1/2
mile of the runway, are 1 statute mile visibility and clear of clouds.



The worse situation in that case would be a low-wing plane coming out
of the clouds IFR right on top of a high-wing plane that's VFR
underneath -- there's not really much of a chance for either to see
the other.


I don't think the configurations will make much of a difference when an IFR
airplane emerges from a cloud at virtually the same point a VFR airplane is
operating.
