Outside reference in IMC

wrote: Statement is still true, isn't it? VFR minima are different in uncontrolled airspace, and since IMC is pretty much defined as weather conditions in which VFR may not be flown, yada yada yada. Or maybe I'm missing something too. I will confess I can't remember when we were last in uncontrolled airspace! Same here, but that's how I remember it! Even in "G", you still need 1 mile, clear of clouds (day), to be legal. You have to open the IFR plan before entering controlled space, but you can't go less than 1 and C of C, which would be "IMC" in G. So, the real answer is, you can't fly in IMC "G", but you can fly in less than "normal" VFR, since "G" has looser requirements. |

But what I don't understand, is that if the FAA regards flying in class G without a clearance unsafe, then why do they have specific language that allows IFR flights in uncontrolled airspace... btw, here is a link to the FAA action: http://www.ntsb.gov/alj/O_n_O/docs/aviation/3935.PDF He departed immediately after another aircraft? |

The statement below is incomplete (hint: qualification is missing). There are lots of places in US airspace where you could be IMC and NOT fly under IFR rules, and no flight plan...where are they? Class G space. Thats what I always thought, until I saw an FAA enforcement letter where they suspended a pilot for launching intoclass G without a clearance. IIRC, he was sitting on the ground awaiting his release from ATC, got tired of waiting, and just took off. No one along the line doubts he did indeed stay inside uncontrolled airspace, but they still violated him. § 91.13 - Careless or reckless operation. The FAA's gotcha reg. I realize that. But what I don't understand, is that if the FAA regards flying in class G without a clearance unsafe, then why do they have specific language that allows IFR flights in uncontrolled airspace... btw, here is a link to the FAA action: http://www.ntsb.gov/alj/O_n_O/docs/aviation/3935.PDF ATC can't clear you in airspace they don't control. Had a clearance been issued, it would have specified where to enter controlled airspace and in what time window. . In the reference you cite, they did not penalize the pilot for flying in IMC under IFR in class G airspace. He was nailed because he flew VFR (which he stated he was doing to another pilot) in weather which was, according to other witnesses, IMC. That was the careless and reckless 91.13 violation. From the very cite you provided: With regard to respondent's assertion that, "[i]f anytime an aircraft enters clouds in uncontrolled airspace it is careless without a clearance then the FAR's should be changed," we note that it would be neither wise nor possible for the FAA to attempt to specifically prohibit every form of conduct that it considered careless. |

You answered to your name!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Anthony neither understands the value of an instrument instructor who isn't afraid to touch the clouds nor does he understand the rules and requlations which apply to both IFR and VFR flight. He may read the FARs, but he lacks the mental capacity to comprehend them. What's even more amusing is that not only didn't he understand that you were on an IFR clearance, but he also fails to understand that it is possible to legally travel 50' from a cloud while VFR. He must take some perverse pleasure in continously demonstrating his abject lack of understanding to the world. |

I'll say it again. Under VFR flight rules, there is a way you can legally and safely fly 50' from a cloud (above, below, or laterally). There is a way to do anything you want while flying (FAR 91.3). However, that doesn't mean that you are usually in a position to legally do so. |

You don't need to invoke emergency authority under 91.3 to legally and safely fly 50' from a cloud while VFR. Anthony, you have no idea what you're talking about. You're pathetic attempts to slither out of the mistake you've made here continue to display to everyone reading this forum that you don't know **** from shinola. |
