If I had a plane that I was familiar with and just needed to drop through the clouds to get home, my personal minimums right now would be 1,000′ AGL ceiling, 5 miles visibility, and minimal winds 10-15 kts. I only have a few minutes of actual in my logbook, so I would want to get some more practice in the system popping through puffy clouds before I attempted to fly hard IFR. It doesn’t have an autopilot or GPS so I wouldn’t want to fly very long or to minimums in it. I’m finishing up my IFR rating and would be comfortable popping through the marine layer in my Cherokee to go somewhere the day after I get my rating. While it would be legal to fly with passengers on a cross-country flight in a Piper Arrow that I have flown a couple of times, it wouldn’t be prudent. But my last cross-country night flight was two and a half years ago with an instructor. Right now I am night current, having flown three takeoffs and landings at night two months ago in my Cherokee. Emotions-A pilot who experiences an emotionally upsetting event should refrain from flying until the pilot has satisfactorily recovered.Fatigue-Am I tired and not adequately rested? Fatigue continues to be one of the most insidious hazards to flight safety, as it may not be apparent to a pilot until serious errors are made.Alcohol-Have I been drinking within 8 hours? Within 24 hours?.While the regulations list medical conditions that require grounding, stress is not among them. Stress-Stress causes concentration and performance problems. ![]()
