Did you read my post? Did you forget the fact my vacuum system
wasn't working? How can I trust the instruments?


You don't need vacuum for electric instruments.


No, you need electricity, fjukktard, even less eliable than vacuum.

If you have no instruments and you're in IMC, you have a big problem.

Not when the vacuum system is broke. I just experienced it
yesterday.


Don't fly IFR until it's fixed.


You are a moron.

Uh, did you forget climb is pretty close to stall buffet?


Is it? You mean "pretty close" as "within 45 degrees"?



Good grief, You know less about flying than a cinder block does.

A couple of degrees pitch up and you will get close to stall buffet.
Of course you don't feel that in the simulator.


If you're a good pilot, you should never feel it at all.

Wrong. I have been there. You have not.


Maybe next time you're there, you won't come back. Trust your
instruments.


Idiot.

The ABSENSE of a feeling is
more important then defective instruments (see above, hint vacuum
failure).


I'm not talking about defective instruments. You should never fly IFR
with defective instruments.


They go defective while you are flying sometimes, fjukktard.

WRONG Re-read what I said above. You got to use your senses to get
to minimums.


No, you can use instruments to get to minimums. After that, you use
your eyes and instruments.

Again, you are talking to a pilot, who just experienced IMC and a
vacuum failure.


You're a very lucky pilot, then, if you're here posting to this
newsgroup.

Everything on a sim doesn't even come close to what I experienced.
Oh yeah, it wasn't straight and level flight, instrument approaches
require turns. Using an attitude indicator that displays level
flight and a DG that doesn't move and my GPS shows degrees ticking
off, doesn't bode well for survival if I don't trust my senses ALONG
with the backup instruments.


You were lucky.



Sounds to me like he knew what he was doing, actually.
