Even
an

pilot
encountering
instrument
conditions,
intentional
or
unintentional,
should ask
himself
whether

not he
is
sufficiently
alert
and proficient
in
the airplane he
is flying,
to
fly
under
low
visibility
conditions
and
the turbulence

or encountered.
If any

exists,
the
flight
should not be made or it
should be discontinued
as soon as possible.
The
result
of vertigo

of the

the loss
of control
is
sustained
it
will
result
in
an excessive

Excessive
speed accidents occur
in
one of two manners, either
as an
inflight
airframe separation or as a high speed
ground
impact;
and they are
fatal
accidents
in
either
case.
All airplanes
are
subject
to this

of
accident.

Lowering the
