Single Pilot IFR

I have no problem filing single pilot IFR. It is very good experience and increases my marketability as a professional pilot. There are a few things that need to be considered while filing single pilot IFR. First, as a professional pilot...you must be willing to as we like to call it, "Shred the Gnar." Analyze the risk of a flight know, your capabilities, and be willing to use all available resources in order to make a safe decision.
One thing that may help the novice IFR pilot, is to practice in the simulator with an experienced IFR pilot such as Hunter Villareal!!
Organizing your cockpit into a logical and systematic way will aid the single pilot in safe and efficient operation of the airplane under high stress environments. Being familiar with the area in which the flight will occur is also a big help. Studying IFR and VFR charts along with navigation aids and communication frequencies will all help decrease the pilots workload in the IFR environment. It should be noted that if a pilot does not feel comfortable in this environment HE (or she) should make a go no go decision based on the sole capabilities of himself. The IFR environment differs from that of VFR but it should not be feared, in fact it should be embraced as it increases pilots proficiency and skill of flying.
