Context: The reason that “scud running” was so dangerous before GPS is that you never knew exactly where you were when you flew very low under a cloud layer.

Voo a baixa altitude

Minha sugestão.

When told that it is dangerous to fly at a low altitude under an overcast or broken sky, some pilots go out and fly at a low altitude under a ceiling of clouds with marginal visibility. I did it myself just the other day with a CFI candidate, pretty much right after the GA accident in New York. No, I'm not crazy and I'm not big on taking risks. And I decided it was time to reveal my personal tips on How to Scud Run Without Killing Yourself.
