My instructor told me in the school I will have to learn to know the speed without looking anywhere but feeling it from the way the plane flies. He is right. Flying too much on instruments is taking away the feel of the plane, there are skills you can train and hone and there are skills you loose due to lack of use.
- heelix 8y agoHelped on a ferry flight of an aerobatics plane from Denver area to Chicago area. The front half I was in had a ball compass, altimeter, and airspeed indicator. It has been a long time since I've been in something without any electronics. The dumb and ugly was strong when I started to chase the compass rather than look outside. :)
