Or any number or airports where an ILS, or for that matter and approach at all isn't possible.Yeah, it's no Aspen, you nancies.
How many regional pilots can REALLY meet this requirement?

- Start date

That's just, like, your opinion, man
Ah crap, you're right. I just imagined it.
Remember though, just because there are boxes in the back and just you onboard, there are still those on the ground beneath you to think about.....you're always potentially risking someone's life, even when single pilot.
My old cargo company lost two 208A Caravans and a 208B Caravan which were Fedex birds, and a PA-31 which was flying UPS cargo, all in a 3 year timespan. All except the 208B were fatal, and one of the 208As went into a neighborhood area, with only the pilot being a fatality, but it could've been worse.
This single-pilot cargo accident, thought not WX related, is an example of the potential for there being things other than just the pilot at risk:

The GS is NOTAMd OTS right now, though looks like its going to be that way for a while given that all the approach plates just say LOC. not sure what the deal is, maybe my foreflight is just on crack.

I guess I never really thought about a lack of a solid state AHRS until this thread. What make/models? Just curious now.

Holy cow!
I didn't know we were having a pee-pee measuring contest!
I win! WooooOooOOOoO!
Well, obviously, you spun a twin - takes the cake hands down. Can you relate that story to us again Papa Derg? (No but seriously, that's a good story)
I'm just playing a game of catch-up after a hectic week. They all look the same after a bit!
I actually had an inadvertent spin in a Seneca because I was a flipping over-confident idiot doing Vmc demos too near the 'critical altitude'.
I got out of it because of dumb luck.

I read a full write up you did some time back, highly entertaining read - no seriously.
I feel like hearing about inexperience and overconfidence from a guy who's been there and done that is generally good content. It is stories like that that have kept my dumb ass from trying to replicate them.
I'm sure it's out there somewhere.
Generally speaking, the fewer hours you have, the more conservative you are, then you reach that upper ends of being a low-time pilot who is on the upper-end of the low-time pilot scale (2000 to 4000 hours) where you think you're the top of the pops and you make a lot of dumb decisions from bravado. You find yourself shiny-side down, lose enough friends where you're out of toes and fingers to count them on and if you want to live long enough to get a couple gray hairs, you learn that glory, bravado and scud running is folly.
Give the cells a wide berth (like the Americans when you're driving a Russian sub), learn to tell dispatch (or your captain if you're an FO, or your FO if you're a captain) to kiss your black ass and yeah, you probably need to de-ice.

I knew I was a fool to tell one story from when I flew SPIFR. I can't, nor could I ever, hang with the big dawgs of JC.
