I would not relay on the 196-instrument page under normal conditions. However I managed to fly with it as sole reference for 10 min or so as a test (with safety pilot of course). It is reckoned you will lose control in about 40 sec with no blind flying instruments, so the 196 could get you out of a jam if all else has failed. Test included turns, climbs etc. and one unusual attitude recovery.
