Adam Curry describes his recent experience performing instrument flying while traveling from the Netherlands to the United Kingdom. He explains the technical transition from Visual Flight Rules (VFR) to Instrument Meteorological Conditions (IMC), detailing the physical sensation of "the leans" or vertigo when a pilot cannot see the horizon. The discussion covers the necessity of trusting cockpit instruments over physical sensations to avoid losing aircraft control during a whiteout.
