Take that, Airman...

No, definitely not looking to do single pilot IFR stuff right away. Probably go up with someone with more experience and get familiar with the area.

Familiar with the area? Why you cannot see anything in IMC anyway! And Every thing you need to know is on the Chart & Approch plates.

Never hurts to have a second set of eyes and intellect sitting next to you until you get comfortable enough of your capabilities to start flying single-pilot IFR.

He's just being cautious and is setting his own personal limitations until he's more comfortable... you can't give him a hard time for that!

I agree what you need to know is on the IAP plate, however - go to Aspen in IMC without a bit of local knowledge and its pretty f'n hairy. I'm from the East Coast and we have a Beechjet based in Rifle that I got to fly before having to go into Aspen with another flat-lander. It certainly helped my SA!

Not giving him a hard time at all I know him personally & have flown with him.

You may not always be comfortable flying in to unknown places while in IFR but that's the fun part of flying IFR getting there, going places in IMC and seeing that runway just appear ware you want it when you break out.
