Question of the Week

Does an instrument rating make a safer pilot?
OF COURSE. Any extra training makes a pilot better. Knowledge is power.
NOT NECESSARILY. Weather kills pilots. An instrument rating is a license to fly in bad weather.
POSSIBLY. All things being equal, it's judgement that kills pilots, not weather. However, adding more judgement to the equation — as weather does — means the instrument-rated pilot is more likely to encounter unsafe situations.
PROBABLY. An instrument pilot is better prepared to safely address more unsafe situations.
MOST LIKELY. It's that kind of attitude that gets instrument-rated pilots killed.
