And what causes IMC? What is "low IMC", as Stan called it? What is fog,
for that matter? (Hint: the answer starts with 'c' and rhymes with
'loud'.)

It doesn't matter if clouds could be at a VMC airport, the airport
under discussion was IMC and had them. It was the only place they were,
in the scenario I was using.

Because you said I have a legal requirement to do so. What's the
answer? Do you have one?

You say I legally must. Prove it or shut up.

When the mountains around here require flight about them to get out of
the valley, no I cannot set a height limit. There is also no safety
reason to set a height limit, while there is a reason to set a vis
limit.

It means that your comment about JFK Jr. was stupid and insulting. It
implies you know more about the flight he made than he did, and that he
made a decision to stop flying the plane.
