However, some of the weather reports do suggest that instrument condition prevailed over part of the route. Had the flight taken place during daylight hours, there almost certainly wouldn't have been any issues. Many low time pilots evaluate weather reports with only a daytime VFR mindset. It's very easy to inadvertently fly into IMC at night without knowing it until they are overcome with spatial disorientation. Unfortunately the same conditions have killed many people and will continue to kill more.
