No, the problem is the ability to control the airplane in 1/8 mile.
If the vis is actually 1/8 in the threshold area, then it is
extremely dangerous to try and hand fly down to minimums.

I guess that's just not been my experience.

Someday it will be.

Hunting for a runway with
1/8 mile vis would be pretty upsetting but landing with 2 or 3 strips
visible down the middle does not seem to be a challenge (certainly not
as challenging as holding the ILS w/i 1 dot below 500 feet).

No flight director?
Even raw data I can smoke down an ILS but I still get an awkward feeling
at minimums. We're not even alowed to initiate one below, though I have
flown in places where this is allowed and we have pushed it.


The difficulty in transitioning
between the clocks and the windscreen are huge,

If you had said the other way around I could understand. It can take
practice for students to transition from outside to instruments, but
I've not seen students have a hard time transiting from gauges to
outside references.


Ok...
