For some reason that even the Air Traffic Controller can’t understand, the pilot decided to do a VFR landing with a 500 foot ceiling.

I’m not knowledgeable enough to say, but looks like a really dumb move. Why would you drop out of IFR?

The flight was from Orange County to San Diego. About a 15 minute flight. Would be VFR for entire flight. Too short for IFR.

500ft!!

Maybe in a Cessna 150 with a good pilot!

Overconfidence is an effective killer.

Regs.

Go watch Dan Gryder “Probable Cause” on this before going all out “Dunning-Kruger” in public ...
