We're talking about that subject this week, on IMC Radio- Plane Talk. What would you do? Any alternatives? Options? How good are your seat of the pilot flying skills? Would you do well with a systems failure?
I have done it. I would prefer an auto pilot, but it is not needed. It would depend on how long I was going to be actual IFR and if I had someone with me.
But the short answer is yes, I have done it.
