At hour 0 a pilot is taught to use his instruments flying VFR
Well it's been a while, but I seem to recall that while I was taught to
scan essential instruments from time to time (airspeed, altitude & engine mainly with the ball added in turns), I was also taught to keep my head outside of the cockpit as much as possible and to use the real horizon, not the AI, as my attitude reference. Are things done differently these days?
Mind you it's been 30 odd years. My memory may be fuzzy on this. The effects of doing spins with a hangover, however, are seared in my memory for life!
