However; it is very dangerous and almost impossible to fly a jet or turboprop for that matter, professionally without flying for the majority on instruments for both departure and arrival.
Interesting concept, however i find it very easy to fly visually in said aircraft using the actual horizon rather than artificial. As with a C152, 172 or PA28 still use the aircrafts instruments for increased accuracy. The attitude reference especially for wings level and alignment with the runway is much more relaxing looking outside. The difference between IMC and Day VMC is that you don't have the real world option to tell you when your upside down or the little ground clues that hint for navigation profile.
