It is alot better than nothing if it happens that you ever need it. And it is RIDICULOUS to outlaw it from the cockpit of airplanes when people want to have them as a safety measure, just encase.

Any of you with instrument training, partial panel training...will understand. Sure most people, even with a turn and bank, are in a world of hurt once IMC is encountered. I get that.

But saying the T&B is illegal is like saying to the window washers that its illegal for them to wear safety harnesses because is encourages them to skip maintenance on their cranes.

Shocking to me that someone needs to explain the logic here. Shocking.
