Hey Sqeek,
tell your friend to go fly and get to altitude slow, 100 ft at a time. It is just to get used to it again. In haze down here I do not like this either, as the horizon kind of disappears, ........I hate that most, flying late(after sunset....) over open sea - without visual to the coast, I prefere to go low (50 to 100 ft) to get a reference at the water surface, even if I have to slow way down and use the landing light....
Most of my time is in rather lively choppers (The R. - brand and EC120B) and knowing you HAVE to fly the machine (as opposed to a trainer airplane, which flies itself when trimmed properly...), canŽt let go on the stick AND HAVE to trust the damnŽinstruments for reference, can get you to that lousy feeling fast!!
But a I said just get to it little by little.......
3top,
