Winter flying

[Richard Flanders]

I'm not sure but I don't think so. You'd have to put too much electronic rubbish into a Cub to fly IFR.... legally, of course. They certainly do fly IFR enough though, as have I, and I'm not IFR rated.

Ahhh....I didn't think of that. No better pilots than most of those that fly in Alaska. I've always admired them. We have only a couple of IFR pilots that fly out of our airstrip and both of those flew commercial. Back in the East, most accidents occur with VFR pilots flying in IFR conditions. Most have a relatively low number of hours. Spatial disorientation sets in and they die. I've never flown in IFR conditions. I carefully check weather reports before I fly long distance. I don't have the skill or savvy of an Alaskan pilot.
