Mission 10: Instrument Landing

[Conehead]

All I can say is...whoa that's tough! It'll be a long time before I can get through this one. Once the HSI needle deviates off center it's near impossible to get it going back the other way without looking up to see where you are.

<Jamie> Warning, don't try this at home!

 

<Adam> We are trained professionels with hundreds of hours between the two of us flying real instrument approaches

 

 

 

You'll get it, Keep practicing! Once you get the hang of it it'll come back to you when you have to do it to get on the ground.

 

The farther out you get stabilized the better off you will be, and make "small" corrections.

I had to fly a real VOR approach 3 weks ago with the ceiling at minimums for the approach (480ft) and 1-1/4 mile visibility (1 mile was the minimum visibility for the approach)

I can't even imagine instrument flying under real-life and adverse conditions. I'll keep at it though...!

You should never do an instrument landing to the ground, there is a point that if you don't visualize the runway you have to perform a missed approach. Making small controlled movements on the stick helps.
