I agree, based on what I've seen of instrument knowledge among alleged
pilots
here. But nothing prevents you from learning about instrument flight if
you
want to. Personally, I think instrument flight is highly interesting and
it
surprises me that so many VFR pilots do not seem to look into it. In
fact, I
learned how to fly on instruments before learning how to fly by hand,
since
early simulators were much better at simulating instrument flight than
they
were at simulating real flight (they still are, but now visual flight is
much
more realistic and good enough to be worth practicing).

The aircraft is no more difficult to maintain upright in zero visibility
than
it is in perfectly clear weather. There are no evil demons trying to turn
it
over just because you are in IMC. Set it straight and level and trim for
it
and then you can look at your chart.

If there is someone in the right-hand seat, he or she can help a lot as
well,
although that's not an absolute requirement.

If you don't know where you are, which way do you go to get out?

If you've just plunged into IMC, you can make a U-turn and probably get
back
out. But if that doesn't work, you'll need a plan B.


Nothing is to easy for the ignorate moron that will never have to actually
do it.


The first makes sense. But how do you land in IMC?

Doesn't matter, you would last long enough to have to.
