Never forget the 3 ‘ates’ of piloting priorities:
Aviate
Navigate
Communicate
In that order.

IFR (Instrument Flight Rules) also stands for I Follow Roads. /s

It would be interesting if they compared the older generation with the younger kids that grew up with video games and the Microsoft flight simulators.

JFK, Jr. comes to mind.Also, Kobe Bryant.

Doolittle , in his autobiography mentioned that Lindberg almost lost it when flying the mail in bad weather.
To: Ol' Dan Tucker
Kobe wasn’t flying but probably dictated the routing. 3 miles west after takeoff they would have been CAVU and been able to see their destination. Course that would have meant flying over water.

For the last 40 years or so, VFR pilots are given rudimentary IFR instruction so that if they accidentally fly into a cloud they can turn around and get themselves out of danger.

Just follow Pilot Debrief, Juan Browne or Scott Perdue GA accident analyses on their youtube channels and you’ll never fly again.

A report of a problem that doesn’t actually exist. All pilots know of the instrument rating and all pilots have basic instrument time as part of their license.
