Hankal,
If the weather is that bad I do not launch. I did not get my IFR ticket to kill myself That is a really weird point of view, IMHO. As someone else mentioned, you'd be unable to legally launch with a 1200 feet ceiling. If you consider that a major risk, why did you get the IR in the first place? -- Thomas Borchert (EDDH) |

There are plenty of airports I've been in where it is not possible to contact ATC for clearance other than by telephone even with weather well above IFR minimums. At my home base, for example, one cannot contact ATC by radio until at 4,000'. Quite...go out to some of the the mid-west (Kansas, Nebraska, Eastern Colorado...) and try raising ATC via radio even at 6,000, 8,000 feet. |
