Doghouse
"...I have a big beef with the IR that we aren't trained to fly a limited panel let down. For the IR we do a lot of limited panel timed turns, in real life I did none (the controller gave me start/stop turn commands). For the IR we do no limited panel let downs, so the first time I ever had to try one was for real. I can tell you that a PAR to 400ft with no AI made for a very strong tea when I got down. Am I being a bit 'train me for the 1 in 1 million possibility' or does anyone else have this gripe?"
Exactly - hence my surprise that it's required for an IMC rating (is this a new thing? I didn't do it for my IMC either)
I was also surprised we didn't do engine-out and partial panel together - just to test the nerves
Guess what I'm going to do just before my next IR renewal - some static-out gubbins. (Presume a "post-it" stuck over both Alt's, the VSI and the AIS will have to do??
Tinstaafl what do you use when training?)
