RFguy Posted May 18 good, all the usual stuff dont push on, dont fly into IMC yeah bla bla bla and dont fly into IMC in stormy weather etc etc bla bla bla.. Maybe I am suffering "dont fly into IMC video - itis" BUT did this pilot actually fly into IMC? is that known fact ??, or did the pilot suffer some other difficulty in severe turbulence, rotors, etc etc ? The panel discussion seems to assume that flying into IMC was a fact. I have seen clouds around me BKN and within 5 seconds, the whole lot become OVC , (which I had flown out of before it happened) IE all holes and puffys surrounding me within 5 seconds in the tablelands. Wasnt bad weather, either. Maybe this happened. Link to comment
facthunter Posted May 19 I think the point being made is the Pilots over rate their ability to handle flight in Cloud IF you start a turn you get quickly used to it and if you do fly out of the turn you sense turning the other way. You MUST absolutely TRUST your instruments. Nev Link to comment
