I'm somewhat confused and don't want to overstep my limits here. I've got enough RW experience (152/172) to have completed my solo but not my PPL (son was diagnosed with autism).
I have no instrument experience...however...given the conditions and low cloud cover and a manual maneuver how would the PF not be flying pitch, power and artificial horizon/attitude indicator?
Is the modern flight director, HUD and other "help" such a distraction that the fundamental realities of pitch, power and attitude are that obscured?
