Going IFR from the start

There is so much to cover in the private PTS, it will be interesting to
see how a student can prepare for both at the same time. I wonder if
'integrated training" teaches students to keep their eyes inside.

I wonder if
'integrated training" teaches students to keep their eyes inside.

I expect that it will, and that it will lead to overdependence on glass,
with concurrent underedpenence on plexiglass. I already see too many
pilots who can't fly without GPS and an autopilot. We shouldn't be
encouraging this from the start.

I tend to agree with you on this Jose. BUT.... It is a study and the
outcome of the study will show if we are right or not.

Well, it appears that NASA (rather than, say, Garmin) is doing the
study, so there's a chance it will be unbiased. (I wonder who supplies
the Diamonds and glass) But I wonder what they will use as a measure of
"outcome". The accident record? Number of minutes the eyes are out of
the cockpit?
