[Flightgear-devel] IMC simulation - was IFR flight test

2003-07-26 Thread Alex Perry
He felt that to fly near minimums you needed to be flying on a daily basis, even though you can maintain certification without doing anything like that. I think he is oversimplifying. You can easily do minimums, at night and in completely smooth air and stratus clouds, at your home airport
