Practice IMC in real IMC
"Peter R." wrote in message ... "Robert M. Gary" wrote: Unusual attitude recovery and stalls are probably things I would not do in IMC. One one instrument proficiency check a few years ago, I had a CFII not only ask me to perform stalls, but also to make two steep turns, all while flying on an IFR flight plan in IMC. I take it you dumped that guy? |

ask me to perform stalls, but also to make two steep turns, all while flying on an IFR flight plan in IMC Seems a bit like asking a student to practice spins on his turn from base to final. Some things seem better to practice simulated. In my aircraft the plane rolls over about 30 degrees in the stall and has a pretty good nose down attitude. I wouldn't be excited to do that in IMC. -Roberts |

Did he have you practice Controlled Flight Into Terrain also?

I actually recover from stalls better under the hood than I do visually. A stall feels much less dramatic to me when I can't see out and I tend to respond faster and smoother than when stalling visually. I would have no fear doing stalls in IMC with a competent instructor along. Same with steep turns. I always fly them better under the hood than visually. Matt |

In a previous article, "gregscheetah" said: I want to practice maneuvers, descending turns and basic manual maneuvering in IMC conditions. Is it possible to get ATC to assign you a 'practice area' in real IMC environment? Say a block of airspace like they do for aerobatics? Of course I would first do this with a CFII. My CFII would request a hold at the local holding fix, and then request a block altitude. As long as you stayed on the correct side of the hold, ATC are remarkably tolerant of what you do - stalls, unusual attitude recovery, climbs and descents at a given speed, climbs and descents at a given rate, etc. You're already doing constant rate turns in the hold, so do them partial panel and time them. I am not sure if I like that idea of turning a holding pattern into a maneuvering exercise. A hold is a clearly defined maneuver even though ATC may be tolerant to deviations. Why not simply tell ATC that you need some airspace to do some maneuvering and be done with? |

Do landings count? |
