These talks about importance of &quot;what it feels like to lose control of your vestibular system when you fly into a cloud&quot;, makes me funny.<p>When it is may important or even unavoidable for small aviation to use visual flight, commercial aviation use redundant instrumental flight, where vestibular system is unnecessary.<p>Even more - general aviation is first area of human activity, where instrumental flight could be safer than &quot;visual&quot; just now.
