I'm going to quibble with Roy just a bit. "When able," in my mind, means
"when you can proceed direct without hitting anything."


Well, if I"m in the soup, the only way I know I won't hit anything is to trust
the controllers. They aren't supposed to vector me into terrain. Now granted
I need some situational awareness, but not to the extent that I don't need
controllers and the instrument flight rules themselves.
