• There seems to be an uptick in Political comments in recent months. Those of us who are long time members of the site know that Political and Religious content has been banned for years. Nothing has changed. Please leave all political and religious comments out of the forums.

    If you recently joined the forums you were not presented with this restriction in the terms of service. This was due to a conversion error when we went from vBulletin to Xenforo. We have updated our terms of service to reflect these corrections.

    Please note any post refering to a politician will be considered political even if it is intended to be humor. Our experience is these topics have a way of dividing the forums and causing deep resentment among members. It is a poison to the community. We appreciate compliance with the rules.

Shocking VFR into IMC, again! Australia, 15 Jul 2025 (MSFS)

On 15 Jul 2025 in Australia, a Beechcraft Debonair crashed & the pilot died, after flying VFR into IMC. This all too frequent situation was particularly shocking because the pilot was not qualified for cross-country or instrument flying, & in worsening weather & rising terrain he passed by 2 airports just moments before the crash.

Note: VMC on the 1st slide and IFR on the 2nd slide should both read VFR.
