Cecil,
A number of times while teaching at RHV, I've returned when the field was still IFR. On one occasion recently we flew the ILS 30L approach to SJC and when we broke out of the clouds, diverted to RHV. In another case, we flew an approach into Hayward, followed I-880 and I-680 to the field and got in under special VFR. In both of those cases, having a GPS wouldn't have helped anyway, since the MDA is so high on that approach. Max T, MCFI The only drawback is that my home airport, Reid-Hillview only has a GPS approach and none of the 172's I currently fly have panel mount GPS's (supposed to be getting two,, unfortunately they aren't being added to any of the planes that I fly), so we can only take advantage of the IMC if it is VFR (i.e., so I get back) at my home airport around the time we plan returning to RHV.
