[QUOTE=DrDevil;52458483]If you don't have the proper instrumentation, you pretty much instantly lose orientation without a visible horizon. I've flown through clouds before, and even after just 15 seconds of flight I wasn't level anymore.[/QUOTE] I've played enough flight simulator games to know how fucking fast you can get disoriented when moving with in a 3D space and don't have a reference point. When visibility gets to zero, you absolutely need to pay complete attention to your instruments(although even [URL="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Korean_Air_Cargo_Flight_8509"] instruments are known to make mistakes.[/URL] These are even more fatal when people perceive the instrument to be working properly, when they are not.)

I'm curious as to whether it even had the proper instrumentation..
