Not if you know how to fly with instruments.


Every PPL knows how to fly by instruments. It's REQUIRED.

Then why do some of them seem to be mystified by VORs?

Using a VOR is not part of what we learn for PPL instrument flying.

We don't have the level of training of IFR rated pilots, that's for
sure!

We can stay wings level, turn, and climb.

That is flying on instruments in my book!

PPL instrument flying is designed to keep you upright while you get
the hell out of the crap you've just flown into. I don't need VOR to
do that.

Clueless as usual.

Yup..

Flying on instruments to get yourself out of the **** is not the same
things as navigating on instruments.

A min of 5hrs (IIRC) is spent learning to fly by instruments. Not
instruments to guide one to a destination - but instruments to keep the
plane upright - basically, straight and level. Here in NZ I was taught
to do this on a limited panel too (I would imagine that's pretty
standard anywhere).

I thought it was great fun - I extended my limited 'IFR' time w' my
instructor, asking him to put the plane into unusual attitudes and then
I'd recover under the helmet. We even did spin recovery while under the
helmet. I loved it.
