Who is the biggest loser you have flown with?

Im pretty sure ATC can wave the 250 rule under 10,000.

They absolutely cannot unless there is a rule made (like the speed test in Houston several years back).

I am pretty sure that you need to take a FAR refresher course when you get your ATP.

I had a Riddle CFII who thought he could fly IFR in the north.....I went to check him out in my FBO's 172 and he lasted 8 seconds in the clouds before i took over......he was not allowed to rent the 172.....pretty sad.

thats why florida is worst place to learn to fly.

I'd hesitate to blame the state of Florida or it's weather for this guys poor piloting skills.

THOUSANDS of pilots get their instrument training in Florida and the vast majority do just fine. If a CFII can't fly IMC then I'd blame the CFII and the DE(s) that made him a CFII, CFI, Commercial Instrument pilot.

You, sir, should apply with Amerijet. They'd love your "spunk".

what i meant was the lack of real ifr experience from down there compared to here in Seattle

I guess what I was thinking about was 91.117 (b)
Unless otherwise authorized or required by ATC, but not in class B

Ive been a freight dog for some time, i guess maybe thats why I thought it was normal.

I'll back you up on the benifits of real experience. But there is no excuess for a current instrument pilot to lose it in IMC. And for a CFII?!?!

I don't care what your background is, either you can do it and should do it, or can't do it and should rip up your ticket. (or get more training till you can)
