Al, you crack me up ! You gotta tell us how you developed this 6th
sence that allows you to fly approaches by the seat of your pants. Jay
is right on this one. Granted, if this MX person would go for a plane
ride once in a while most of what he argues here would be self
evident. You on the other hand , claiming that superior sense and
skill got you through an instrument failure, is just macho bravado.
Got a good chuckle by what you consider a low approach, 1000ft ceiling
is VFR man . Furthermore, a sim is a very usefull tool. Why do you
think the airlines use them. All of the sims that I have flown have
been harder to fly than the real A/C. Dont get me wrong, I am glad
that you made it through OK but lighten up G
