Claim is that it's careless and reckless to fly IMC without a clearance in
Class G (even though it is "technically" legal), because you don't know
who
might be out there flying on an ATC plan.

Surely, by the same token it's equally careless and reckless to coordinate
a
release with ATC, fly up through Class G, and enter controlled airspace,
because you don't know who might be out there flying legally under the
floor
of controlled airspace.

If you look at the text from the bottom of page 5/top of page 6, the
witness
(Smith) just about says as much.


I understand all that. But there were initially two violations, careless
and reckless and busting VFR minimums. The minimums bust was dropped, even
though it was established that he did bust minimums.
