A VFR Charter (now called Air Transport), could not legally do that flight unless the aircraft was a multi-engined IFR aircraft (or single engine IFR aircraft approved for Air Transport operations) and the pilot held a current instrument rating. The flight could then proceed as a NVFR flight. Quite frankly, I think I would be staying home!
