I use sectionals all the time in IFR flight, especially when planning
departures from mountainous airports. I used to fly a King Air (part
135), and carried WAC charts so I would know where the low
terrain was.

Looking at the sectional, a runway 26 departure from Big Bear seems
pretty hairy in a Bonanza.
