Anthony, NO, NO, NO! You do not have to fly exclusively by instruments

visual reference.


Legally, you must be on instruments. The law isn't written that way just to
make life difficult for pilots.

You can always rely on instruments, even in the clearest weather. But you
cannot always rely on visual references. And if you are in IMC, you may only
be seconds away from a loss of visual references.

IFR DOES NOT mean "flying by instruments alone." You are wrong! Show
me where you learned this gibberish if you are so sure about it.


I'll quote you to the NTSB; that might make it easier for them to determine
probable cause after you're gone.

The reason they are disagreeing with you is because you are NOT a
pilot ...


The reason they are disagreeing with me is that their desire to prove me wrong
is so intense that it takes priority over their own safety. If they cannot
shake themselves free of this emotion, they will be a danger to themselves in
the air.

Care to quote the law or regulation that says you must be "on instruments"
whenever you are in IMC?

Whoa, please be careful. The above looks like I, Ricky, am the one who
said that ("Legally, you must be on instruments.")
I did not say that, our resident IFR expert Anthony did, and it most
certainly is wrong. By the way you did not trim the post/reply it
looks like I said it.
Trimming posts properly here seems to be oft ignored or done
incorrectly.

The attributions are automatic and follow the RFC's.

So are autopilots, but the FAA says that you're still PIC.

You can often depart SVFR in poor weather, but just because you aren't
absolutely required to be IFR doesn't mean that SVFR is a smart idea. *


Oh, no! Now you are going to attempt to educate us on SVFR? THIS is
going to be good!
Anthony, you are digging a really, really deep hole for yourself, boy!
