Correct, I neglected to have mine handy ... a preflight error.
When operating single pilot IMC in light chop (daytime thermals),
with my instrument covers behind me in my flight bag on the seat behind me,
I am _not_ about to stop flying the plane and spend a minute or so poking
around the bag in order to retrieve them.  That would be a lethal mistake.

Yes.  I find myself having the same trouble in FGFS as in real life.
Users who don't have any trouble with this probably don't have a scan.
