You're worried about his scan with that big honkin' PFD in his face? That's not IFR, it's digital VFR.rausda27 said:I hope you arent serious. If anything a placard is the last thing a new IFR rated pilot needs to be concerned about when develping his scan. Isnt that why we use acronyms in the first place?

Citationkid said:I don't understand what you're point is, the guy is taking a saftey measure and you decide that he's an idiot for doing it. People in his position are the type of people that are involved in many accidents (200 hour pilot in a Saratoga). He understands this and wants to fly as saftely as possibly (and he does). His instructor put it up there and hasn't taken it down yet. A place card is certainly not something I would be too concerned about.
rausda27 said:I never called him an idiot, I was simply amused by the placard. You took it out of context in the first place. My original post was toingue in cheek, meaning that with a cockpit like that one, it would be pretty hard to lose SA.
Nice pictures! What kind of camera do you have??
