I have 250+ hours in VMC. I know how to control an aircraft. In VMC you have this big horizon out the window available to judge your attitude. In IMC, you just have the instruments. You have to learn to ignore all physical sensations (no flying by the seat of your pants here), and trust your instruments. The first part of every instrument training syllabus I've ever seen emphasizes the ability to control the airplane first and foremost. An autopilot will do this for you, but that's no excuse for not knowing how to do it yourself. I don't want to die from stupidity! I learned to fly before private pilots received any instrument instruction. Few of our airplanes had any gyros at all. In those days, it was drilled into us that a non-instrument pilot, trapped in IMC, had a life expectancy measured in minutes. Sounds like you understand that. |
