Pulled from the AOPA Air Safety Institute archives, this VHS (©1992) provides great tips for planning and conducting single pilot IFR that are still relevant today. For the full nostalgic experience read through our Safety Advisor that originally accompanied this VHS (last updated in 2006): aopa.org/-/media/Files/AOPA/Home/Pilot%20Resources/ASI/Safety%20Advisors/sa05.pdf
While instrument flying has modernized since (1992), the principles of successful single-pilot resource management, thorough preflight planning, and sound decision making have stayed the same. "Single-pilot IFR can be as safe as you choose to make it, and there are many things you can do to make it safer."
