Difference for VFR & IFR is IFR requires more stringent instrument checking and more radio work
What utter bloody rubbish. Man, that takes the cake and is so typical of the GA flying training industry. Of course I presume that someone has done measured taxi trials with a stop watch to see how long it takes a pilot to scan his flight instruments while taxiing (three seconds maybe?)
Instrument checks, more engines to run up, more navaids to TIT, Getting a word into centre when its busy (or HF which can be a pain)
As yes a thorough instrument scan takes longer than 3 seconds.
Back to your 152 fella, you might make it in 3 seconds there
