P.S. the thing about instrument flying is your senses lie to you, and you need to rely on the instruments. A green student is at risk of panicking and believing the lies his inner ear is telling him (spacial disorientation). When JFK jr crashed in the mist at sunset, my dad passed by the TV when they reported it, and said "spacial disorientation". It's killed a lot of pilots.

A major part of learning to fly instrument is to learn to ignore your body screaming at you that you're flying upside down.
