What should a pilot never do in adverse weather conditions?

A pilot should never out-fly their visibility because it poses a significant safety hazard. Out-flying visibility means flying at a speed or in conditions where the pilot can no longer see and assess their surroundings effectively. This can lead to a loss of control and an increased risk of collisions with terrain or obstacles, particularly in unpredictable or adverse weather conditions where visibility can fluctuate. Maintaining situational awareness is vital for safe flight operations, especially when weather is a factor. By adhering to visibility requirements and remaining within the capabilities of their aircraft and their own flying skills, pilots can better ensure a safe flying experience.

In adverse weather, pilots must prioritize their ability to see and react to their environment, which makes this choice particularly important.
