But no, pilots dont forget special precautions just

the effects of variation whether it is from -20 to +20 or +20 to +
50 C and it is one of the most critically assessed components of their
training, because it can kill you ( well not you , but real pilots)

Yes, they forget, and that's why so many get killed. They forget all sorts
of
things; some are important, some aren't.

Oh and if you think rain is not an issue in the desert , go an read
about VIRGA.

I know about virga. But typically the skies in the desert have no clouds
at
all, or clouds so small and insignificant that they are hard to even see.

Totally and absolutely wrong.

Maybe in a Microsoft simulated desert, but not a real desert.

More and more it looks like mxsmaniac doesn't get out much.
