So he descended through the glide slope. Two miles from the threshold, perhaps not. Two miles from the tower, airport reference point, who knows. My point is that accidents aren't happening at ACK to aircraft in crew environments. Single pilot IFR is commonplace and is dangerous. Single pilots easily become over tasked and performance deteriotes very quickly. CFIT is not just a single pilot problem, but single pilots are at markedly higher risk of flying into the ground. The advent of GPS and EFIS in the single pilot environment, in my opinion, has worsened the situation by increasing, not decreasing, pilot workload.
Sorry; no. Single pilot IFR is fine.
