Scud Running
What is scud running?
Scud running is the hazardous practice of flying at low altitudes to maintain visual contact with the terrain when instrument meteorological conditions actually exist—essentially trying to sneak under deteriorating weather. Pressing on like this can lead to spatial disorientation or a collision with the ground or obstacles. On the test: this is a classic example of poor aeronautical decision-making and continuing VFR into instrument conditions.
