The biggest problem you will have is stop looking at the instruments and to look out of the window.

Light aircraft are flown by looking outside and using the natural horizon as a reference, you position the aircraft attitude relative to that visual reerence and set the appropriate power, the aircraft will then perform as required.

In brief , power + attitude = performance

Once you can do that, you will be shown how to use the instruments to check the aircraft performance.

If you don't lookout expect the instruments to be covered completely.

But whatever you do , enjoy it!!
