Actually yes there is a 'may' about it. As a PIC do you not have the FINAL say in the outcome of the flight you are conducting?

Consider this: if you loose your one and only engine, there is only so far you can glide, and only so many "decent" landing spots. You are typically not left with much choice (but some). Unfortunately if you loose your engine in IMC (day or night) you will likely not be able to see your best option until it is too late. Sooooo....

As the PIC of an aircraft in an emergency, what resources are you utilizing? There is your passengers, ATC, copy of your weather briefing (you did get one didn't you?). There are many resources available to you.

I believe of the FAA's 5 hazardous attitudes, yours would be resigned. Yes it is a bad thing that your engine quits in IMC at night. This in no way means that you have to be in a "world of hurt". If you following procedures, utilizing resources, relying on your training, and utilizing your brain- then there is no reason you should be in a world of hurt.

Is there a difference between day vmc and night imc? Yes, but nowhere in that equation does it mean that you relinquish your duties as PIC. You are the final say in the outcome of your flight. Don't be resigned and think that a bad situation means you are screwed.

 

He lost me at "loose"

The funny thing is he keeps doing it. I've never understood why some people have such a difficult time with that word.

 

Maybe because I dont care. Let me elaborate:
1. The point of written communication is to express an idea. It is very clear that the readers here understood the content of the message. So mission accomplished.
2. Typing on an Ipad, it can be cumbersome to track down all the punctuation errors, misspelling, incorrect wording, etc.
3. Its an internet forum, not a college essay.
4.Im a pilot, not an english or written language professor.

It is interesting that there are many people out there who believe having punctuation and correct spelling is a sign of intelligence and education. Okay, I guess I cannot argue that point, so I will say this. It is equally true that when an idea or argument is put forward, the unintelligent and uneducated would rather nitpick inconsequential details. This is known as the fallacy of Trivial Objections. Stated this way, I wish to put an idea forward, you wish to divert the conversation from the topic at hand. What does that say about you?

 

Making fun of grammer is humerus, No need to loose your humer because you’re idea haves a screw lose. Head on down to the bar, Ile meat you they’re.

I would like to nominate the two most over used words of 2017. 1.) Literally
2.) Perfect. I went to Lowe's today and the first three words out of the cashier's mouth was "perfect". I am thinking is your vocabulary that limited? If it is you have found your calling.

 

Now call me crazy, but Im fairly certain when somebody says they will meat me at a bar Im certain that means more than drinks
