’’Instrument Flying is a pilot’s best Life Insurance/It pays off in life instead of death. In modern day flying, the statement may be confidently made that no pilot is worthy of the name “Pilot” if he cannot fly his aircraft proficiently by its flight instruments as well as by visual reference to the ground. The term "contact" flight has been construed to mean flight without reference to the flight instruments. The student must realize that “Contact" is a weather condition and not a distinct method of controlling a modern military aircraft. The pilot who is qualified to control an aircraft solely by reference to his flight and other instruments is obviously also qualified to fly under "contact" conditions. Inasmuch as the "seat-of-the-pants” pilot cannot control the aircraft when "contact" weather conditions do not prevail, flight training must be conducted for the specific purpose of graduating competent "Instrument Pilots."
