The aircraft's avionics don't, however, and so, once you press the button, you're straight and level, no matter what sensations you might feel. Large airliners tend to move very sedately, also, so the sensations are far less noticeable. I will keep repeating, IMC in a cloud is something to be experienced. *Depending on what you like (or not like), you would never look at MSFS the same. *MSFS is only a 2D world once you get the opportunity to touch a cloud How much IFR have you flown in MSFS? Everything outside the window in a real aircraft is 2D, except during take-off and landing. *Depth perception only works out to a distance of 100 feet or so. Everything else is flat. Defending the use and benefits to learn what each instruments do, and learning IFR procedures, I absolutey agree with you. *Defending the use and learning how to fly an airplane, land an airplane on MSFX, sorry, the two just don't intertwine. Knowing what the instruments do and knowing IFR procedures is a huge part of flying the airplane. *In fact, it's most of the job for commercial air transports. *Airliners are hardly ever even flown by hand, and they are never flown under VFR. Nobody will learn how to land an airplane on MSFX. Some people will, but they have to start with an open mind. I suspect many of the rated pilots here have experienced what I have: vertigo as bad as it gets in a long flight while in the clouds. It is a non-trivial exercise that takes training to overcome the viseral instincts and fly by the instruments. JFK Jr is a well known example of someone who could not unlink primal fear from primal but incorrect action. A stationary simulator cannot teach that. |

Maybe, although I've read that a great deal of IFR flight actually takes place in IMC, so even rated pilots might not get that much experience flying through clouds. Flying through clouds has other hazards besides a lack of visibility. JFK Jr is a well known example of someone who could not unlink primal fear from primal but incorrect action. JFK had issues, apparently. |

JFK Jr is a well known example of someone who could not unlink primal fear from primal but incorrect action. JFK had issues, apparently. You simply have no real life data to support your statements. There are requirements for recency of experience for IFR flight. I have had quite a lot with no outside reference -- that is different than IMC -- and assert vertigo is quite real, and unless one is trained and current, it can be life threatening. JFK Jr had issues, he was also unrated for instruments, had plenty of training that did not seem to help which is why he was still unrated. It took him, it's been estimated, about 30 seconds from disconnecting his auto pilot at something like 5,500 feet to impact. Ego greater than skill has killed a number of pilots. |

I should have said VMC, though; that is, a great deal of IFR flight actually takes place in VMC, which means that many IR pilots (at least private pilots) don't have much experience with situations in which they truly must fly by instruments. They have just enough to get the rating, and that's it. Your are totally unaware of the currency requirements, aren't you. -- Jim Pennino Remove .spam.sux to reply. |
