Only during IFR flight.

Yeah, that's what the it is.


And for sound reasons having to do with human
physiology, and the precision required
of good IFR skills.

If you are VFR, you can do all the steep turns and loops and aerobatics that
your aircraft and skills allow.

Skills that stay much sharper the more VFR you do. IFR flight does
exactly nothing for these skills except to allow them to deteriorate.



Othen than popping out and

having the runway right in front of you where you expect it to be IFR
flying sucks all the fun out of flying



Oh, Lordy! My poor ears :-(

Dude, it sounds like you just don't enjoy the cerebral exercize of flying.

Different strokes for different folks.



The
intense concentration and focus, the ability to multi-task and stay ahead of
things, the self-discipline required . . .

I get 40 hours a week of all that at work in the tower.
