I agree that the OP is asking a question that seems to have so obvious an answer?! Maybe that we were taught much the same basic airmanship in the 60s and used panels containing essentially the same air driven gyros, and maps. Remember them, the paper stuff that preceded GPS & iPads? Look outside, or maintain a good DR plot until a positive ID updates your position.
Even RN flying had us developing a 'fog approach' to get back onto Mother when vis was down to SFA. From the island (Ark) you couldn't see the wires some 300ft away with 15knots creating an increase in the lousy vis: needs must, and all that.
