It's different in the clag. Hoodwork is helpful, but actual can be an eye-opener. Yah, it's *usually* a lot easier in the soup than under the hood. You don't get as many distractions and false clues at to attitude with maybe the exception of flicker vertigo. My instructor had me flying in actual right down to minimums to the point my first solo trip after getting the rating was right down to minimums. I was expecting I'd have to go over and shoot the ILS at MBS as most of the area was down to about 200 feet, but about 3 mile sout it opened up like flying down a inverted canyon about 2 miles wide, about 4 long, and about 600 high. (MDA is about 500 AGL) I was far more proficient then than I am now. I need to go spend some time under the hood and take an IPC refresher.
