This is often the result of the aircraft picking up excessive airspeed as a result of pilot disorientation in instrument meteorological conditions (IMC), followed by an abrupt pitch-up after exiting the bottom of the cloud.

One or more blockages in these holes, alone or in combination, create different errors in instrument indication. It’s critical for pilots, especially those flying in instrument meteorological conditions (IMC) , to know how to identify these errors and what secondary instruments can be used as a back-up.

by Gustin Robinson, FAA CFI-I ASEL Flying under instrument meteorological conditions keeps even a good pilot on their toes. But now, while flying in low visibility and overcast cloud layers, you have to rely on your instrumentation more than ever before and keep your eyes inside the airplane.

Putting the front to our tails, we flew in IMC (instrument meteorological conditions) for 30 minutes before emerging under a clear blue sky. Despite those ground clearances, we found that the ceiling above our home airport was high enough to accommodate VFR departures with airborne clearances. Better safe than sorry.

With all the weather resources we have today, inadvertent flight from Visual Meteorological Conditions (VMC) into Instrument Meteorological Conditions (IMC) continues to be one of the greatest causes of fatal accidents today. Why is this? can be confusing and overwhelming.

The GOM also called for the airspeed to be “on target” at such altitudes respectively. According to the GOM, either pilot could call for a go-around, yet neither did despite the published stabilized approach criteria being violated.

The risk of losing control is higher in instrument meteorological conditions (IMC) or at night. So, it’s important to use the flight instruments to maintain control. Another issue is controlled flight into terrain (CFIT). CFIT is likely when the pilot does not pitch up adequately or if the aircraft stalls.

We spent some time in instrument meteorological conditions over Vermont. One of our last glimpses of the ground was the Connecticut River that physically coincides with the border between New Hampshire and Vermont. At one point, we entered a region of sufficient turbulence that I disengaged the autopilot to hand-fly.
