... that the average life expectancy of a non-instrument qualified pilot in cloud is 178 seconds, as discussed here from time to time, whether or not they've played with toys on PCs, the occasional lucky one notwithstanding.
Yes, I noticed that rather worrying bit of over-confidence too, but forgot to say anything. I wonder why it's only those of us with some instrument flying experience who really know how difficult it is, and know that messing around with flight sim won't really help. Please, trust me on this, and stay away from the fluffy stuff until you're qualified to fly in it. The fact that it doesn't worry you is not the point.
