Original Message lots of programs have VFR pilots flying IFR aircraft. I was one of them. I flew a 135 for 6 months to learn the aircraft, get clearances and practice approaches. I was strongly encouraged to do this. IFR pilots don't grow on trees, you have to make everyone of them from scratch. Some do arrive trained, but they all started somewhere. This guy managed to go IIMC and it ended badly. Hardly an indictment of his training or the program. |
