Is it true that one must fly by reference to instruments alone while
in IMC and/or IFR?
I am an instrument student and I thought I learned something
different. Please explain where you learned that I must fly by
reference to instruments alone when on an IFR flight plan or in IMC
above or below clouds?

Thanks,

Isn't this all getting just a little tedious?

Mx posts something and then a certain contingent tries their best to find
some flaw, however minor, to argue endlessly over. Occasionally Mx is right
and the contingent is wrong, but that doesn't stop them from embarrasing
themselves for weeks on end as the arguement goes from nit picking to
semantics to the sublimely ridiculous. The amazing thing is that it occurs
with almost every one of his posts.

Let me help you here - Mx meant that you must fly on instruments when you
have no reliable outside visual references.

I'm no Mx fan - far from it. But sometimes you guys are your own worst
enemy.
