You on the other hand , claiming that superior sense and skill got you through an instrument failure, is just macho bravado. Never said it got me through it, but I did say it was an additional tool in my took kit. It was a combination of everything, not one thing. To ignore senses or the seat of your pants in IMC is just in my opinion not good flying. No different then landing a plane at night when you are feeling your way down to the ground. Got a good chuckle by what you consider a low approach, 1000ft ceiling is VFR man ![]() Where did I say it was a low approach? I use 1000 foot ceilings as a benchmark as many pilots don't or will not fly down to minimums in actual conditions. Thankfully, I had an instructor in my training, I did go down to ILS minimums and have made several GPS and VOR Alpha's down to minimums on my own without any problems.. It becomes a non event at the end, but thrilling as you slide down the approach path. It's the end result we all look for but it doesn't just come by tracking needles. *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 Airliners us FULL MOTION sims, not a desktop MSFS. HUGE difference. From what I gather, Jay's simulator is not a full motion sim. To equate a desktop MSFS to any type of IMC flying is reckless IMHO. To not depend on senses and totally rely on instruments without an expectation that **they could fail** is reckless. If you fly a real plane, you should know this. Nobody expects the unexpected to happen, but if you fly your plane like **it could happen** then you are better prepared. I call it an insurance policy that you hope you don't have to cash in. |

Given the fact that losing instruments in IMC is extraordinarily dangerous, it would be better advised to take care to minimize the chances that they will fail than to fantasize that it will be possible to fly and land safely without them if they do fail. Ummm, there was no fantasy about what happened to me on Friday. And it's not extraordinary dangerous to lose your HI and DG if you take the proactive approach in the what if scenario.while flying. I am here to prove that. We practice this in our Instrument air training, but you don't know it since you never have taken flying lessons. |

What's the tail number of your aircraft, so I can recognize it in the NTSB report? |

So, what's the tail number of your aircraft, Anthony? I have several, but since I only use them in simulation, they won't appear in an NTSB report (and some of them are already assigned to other aircraft in the FAA database). |
