Recently I realized that there are VFR pilots, VFR pilots with an instrument rating, and instrument pilots. Which are you? Reading this, you are more likely to be in the latter category, or at least in the middle but aspiring toward the latter. Let me explain.
We all know what VFR pilots are. They’re the ones with the 172s, Cherokees, Mooneys, Champs, Cubs and such who only bring their aircraft out of the hangar on the good days. They never learned to fly in weather and perhaps they don’t want to. That’s fine, as long as they understand that and never risk the common VFR-flight-into-IMC accident scenario.
