Default IFR just 5.4% of the time

Robert,

I've only had to cancel a very small number of trips because the IFR
was not duable (usually ice). However, I've had lots of trips that
would have been canceled VFR but 0.1 hours of IFR made the trip work.


Exactly. Plus, you just don't have to fret weather decisions as much.
All this doesn't mean at all you're flying in clouds for hours or
approaches to the minimums.


Very true. The VFR pilot stresses about his trip before hand more
often. The IFR rating is worth it even if it just means you are more
confident the trip will go as scheduled.
