In this case IMC equals flying in the clouds, Mx. There is nothing to

But the clouds may hide other aircraft. You need to be on the radio to
maintain separation with ATC, not dealing with cockpit distractions.


If you're IMC, you won't be maintaining separation with
anything, because there isn't anything for you to see. ATC will be
responsible for the separation.

I noted in one of your posts while flying the simulator you had a
beautiful woman by your side, and she was not a distraction.


Yes.

What power of concentration you must have.


Not at all. I'm simply not a buck deer in rut, and my behavior is controlled
by my brain, not my hormones.


If everyone here had a nickel for everytime they've heard that
(especially from their friends or children)... They'd have a dime.

I would feel slighted if my husband kept his interest on a computer
game if I was trying to distract him.


I am not your husband.


Thank the gods. But she has a point. If you're going to be that
attuned to a game over your significant other, you have some serious
social problems. Not that we didn't know this already to begin with...

Maybe it's that he is being very kind, but he allows
himself to be distracted easily in those circumstances.


The answer to that might displease you. Men know how to fake things, too.


You don't know about their lives together to be able to come to
the assumption that he is doing so. Don't let your ineptness become the
justified norm for someone else.

You might find
from a relationship standpoint you'd do better if you allowed such
distractions from time to time.


I'm not interested in a relationship, I'm interested in aviation.


I honestly don't think you could handle a relationship. Yes,
you are interested in aviation, but once again, with the attitude you
have and the misguided assumptions you have about things in aviation,
You either a) have a long way to go and a lot to unlearn before you can
even learn anything in aviation, or b) you couldn't handle aviation.
