Everything Offends Me
Ok, a few givens:
1) It is legal to fly in IMC in class G airspace while not on an Instrument Flight Plan.
2) I have a runway in my back yard, which is located within class G airspace, and there is a VOR nearby that can be received all the way to the ground
3) I have planned, and drawn up an approach plate to the runway that will safely get me to the ground, and has a missed approach procedure should I fail.
Ok - some information:
Runway elevation is 2600ft.
MEA on the nearest airway is 4500ft.
How does one go about flying the Victor airway to the point where you deem it is safe to descend, while in IMC, to get to the class G airspace near the airway, where it is legal to cancel IFR and remain IMC throughout the approach?
Smart? Probably not. Legal? Neglecting the catch all reg, I'd say so.
