No, not supposed to. But the report may be wrong and he might have the
instrument rating. I paid more attention to the part about him not trying

"Private rated" in this context means he has a private certificate rather
than a commercial or ATP certificate. It does not refer to whether he is
IFR-rated. If he were not IFR rated then almost for sure this would have
been specifically mentioned by the NTSB and included as part of the probable
cause.
