"Since I was a little girl I always was amazed by the sky so I decided at a young age to become a pilot. I want to see the world. However, the place that I wish to start flying is in my home country, Portugal. I am fortunate to start my flying here in Ponte de Sor with L3Harris. Every time that I look at the aircraft, I remember the path that I took to be here, and that my place is in the sky." 📷 👩✈️ (IG: nini_catnorinho)

Great #blackandwhite image taken by (IG: thepilotjuan) from inside the cockpit.
Can you tell what plane this is from the instruments? 🕰 ✈️
Answer below!
Safe flight is not only about the aircraft performance, human limitation is crucial. So with that in mind see if you can answer the question below:
Spatial disorientation will be most likely to occur during flight…
1. If the brain receives conflicting information and the pilot does not believe the instruments
2. When flying in light rain below the ceiling
3. When flying in bright sunlight above a cloud layer
4. When flying in and out of clouds and the pilot maintains good instrument cross check
Another goregous day to be up in the sky! 🌞😎
