"Sorry; no. Single pilot IFR is fine." George Baker III (1938-2005)

I see. Because you don't like it, no one should do it. Very Howard Dean of you. I and many friends have been doing single pilot IFR for decades. Still here. Get a life.

Oh no, you have all wrong. Fly early fly often. Single pilot IFR is legal, should be, and I occassionally do it.

Perhaps that makes me a hypocrite.

I look in my logbook, though, and I see dead people. People who instructed me, students of mine, and a designated examiner I flew with all came to a sudden stop flying.

Not all killed in single pilot IFR ops, truth be told, but in some kind of general aviation operation.

If you've been flying for any length of time, you see dead people in your logbook too.

Single pilot IFR is one of the sketchiest things we do.
