New Did both AI's fail?
I should look up the NTSB report on this. Seems like there was an article about the accident in Plane & Pilot or some other flying mag. I've read about several IMC accidents and I start wondering if my plans to pursue an instrument rating next year are well founded. It must be hard to make a "no-go" decision if you've been instrument rated for a while and are used to flying in true IMC conditions. Right now, the go/no-go choice for me is easy (if it ain't VFR minimums, I ain't goin'), but I suppose it's gotta be harder to decide against going w/some IMC flying time under your belt.

Thanks fo the info,
Mikem

That's the thinking - he radioed in problems with his 8-ball, stated he would try to use the co-pilot's, then asked for a vector to VFR conditions - shortly afterward radar contact was lost.

If I were you, I'd get in the habit of tacking up a St. Christopher medal on a fine chain :)

As a philosophical issue, I can't see the point in flying IFR for recreation!
