Single Pilot IFR

Without having flown in IFR conditions in quite sometime, I would refuse to fly in IMC conditions right now. I firmly believe that even most of our students (including myself) could not function in IMC conditions immediately following our instrument checkride. Flying in the real deal is much different than under the hood. This article highlighted the danger that single pilot IFR presents. Managing the workload is probably the biggest piece of advice this article gives. Under IFR conditions, there are many things to do very quickly. Without a copilot, managing these tasks is essential. Ultimately, I would not fly IFR without an experienced copilot at this time.
