Class B IFR/IFR general shtuff

[minitour]

I reread the original scenario and didn't see the "nor would a divert produce one", refering to a landing site...my bad. My main point was that some instrument pilots have the mis-conception that it is always okay to continue all the way to your destination. I admit their are many scenarios where it is more prudent to continue IFR then try to stay VFR, I was refering to the guys coming in for IPC's telling me they can legally go all the way from A to B under IFR even after over-flying C, D, and E with severe clear and 10,000' runways and be legal when they get to B.

Anyway, I think this horse is dead.

ah...understand where you're coming from now...

hey...kind of a "oh geez" scenario

say you lose comms in IMC...you're poppin in and out of some cute little cumulus stuff but not VFR between them (can't get 2,000' horizontal separation) but over to your right/left you see completely clear skys probably 10-15 miles left/right of your route....do you leave the route to go 10-15 miles left/right to get to VFR so you can maintain VFR and then land?

or...

you lose comms in Class A...illegal to maintain VFR in Class A...where do you go? You can be in VMC so would you just look down...find a spot and go? even thought technically you aren't "VFR" ?
