Steve Fossett had an instrument rating, various jet type ratings as well as balloon and sailplane ratings.
The plane also needs to have an instrument rating before being allowed to fly in IMC. As far as I know, his plane was a VMC only plane. Flying a VMC plane in IMC conditions is not good aviation.
