About flying over the top. I would like to give an educated opinion on this subject.?If you want to fly over a cloud deck. You really need to have the ability to keep the top side up if something happens to where you have to glide through that deck. ?I'm not saying you need to have a full six pack with all the gizmos and a IFR rating. ?Just a simple attitude indicator or a turn and back gauge with a VSI. AND practice with a hood. Whenever I go flying with another pilot. I get some hood time.?When Ray and I went on a sightseeing flight last year at McMinnville. ?We had to get a pop up IFR clearance to get back. ?I wasn't current but I had no problems getting back because I practice.?All I'm saying is. If your going to put your self in that situation be prepared. And you may not need to think about a parachute. This goes with flying at night also.?I forgot to mention. ?I did have a CFII next to me when Ray and I went up.? Paul Visk ?Belleville IL ?618 406 4705
