Re: Jerry
That's a good attitude to have. I found leaning to fly in the Navy to
involve a LOT too much IFR, and that probably ruined me on it forever
:) We even flew helos IFR, and THAT'S pretty hair-raising. It just
always seemed to me like we had a lot of bad VFR map/landmark pilots
after so much IFR time. I know I always had to bone up extra on the
maps and GET MY HEAD OUTSIDE!! :)
Good luck and have fun with it.

Re: Jerry
Doesn't even take water or true night - just heading into the sunset
on a really hazy day over the plains or the desert will come pretty
close to the same loss of horizonal reference. My biggest problem was
with young pilots who had just finished their instrument checks and
were to proud to admit they needed those instruments unless they were
immersed in cloud.

Re: Jerry
One very hazy marginal condition (but still legally VFR) hurry-up flight to
return a rented Piper from Palm Springs over the mountains to San Diego was
like that for me late one afternoon. Maybe a touch of spatial
disorientation compounded by tremendous glare from the sun through the
haze... not one of my more fun flights that ended well only by really
concentrating on the instruments and the basics.
