How much fuel do you prefer to carry?

Anthony, NO, NO, NO! You do not have to fly exclusively by instruments
in IMC. There are often conditions IN LEGAL IMC where on flys by
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.

You have a significant problem if you think any experienced instrument
rated pilot will base his or her flying on posts you've made. We are
safe pilots because we work at developing and using superior judgment.
That you have no experience in flying, or as best we can tell, using
superior judgment in your posts tells us all we need to know about
you. You are simply, very often as demonstrated here, an ignorant
diversion.

An experienced instrument pilot already knows the point I'm trying to make
(whether he's willing to publicly admit that or not is a separate question).

Superior judgement includes the ability to rely solely on instruments when
necessary, and always on instruments as a final authority.

That's a retreat from your earlier dogma.

I consistently overestimate my audience. Some things seem to me self-evident,
but apparently they are not to others. Or many people are simply being
disingenuous, which is certainly a strong possibility (I hope, for their
sakes).
