Well, it is against regs. Sure, the controllers don't know, but...

See, there are a lot of people out there who file IFR without an
instrument rating. These people have the skill and knowledge to get
the rating (in fact, I would say on average they are better instrument
pilots than the average instrument rated private pilot) but they don't
get a rating for financial rasons. Don't want to pay to rent a plane
or upgrade, etc.

When you're looking at someone who can afforda Cirrus, that just
doesn't wash.

Hrm, I know nothing about what kind of records are kept, but wouldn't
that have the potential to come back and bite you? with perhaps serious
reprocussions?
