I believe in order to fly a helicopter we need to fly it based on attitude. Just to recap attitude is the orientation of the helicopter relative to the horizon or any other point for that matter. But that does not mean we are not allowed to look or scan at our instruments. We have to refer to our instruments in order to verify whether the attitude we’ve selected gives us the correct outcome depending on what we want to achieve for example a certain speed, a certain altitude or a certain direction. The secret however is not to stare or fixate on a particular instrument and not to “chase” an instrument but to make changes to my attitude OUTSIDE and then to verify the result inside.
Remember we also have engine instruments so although we might not need to refer to a flight instrument like when we in the hover for example we still need to scan at our engine instruments to monitor engine parameters.
The point that I want to bring across is that we need to scan at a certain rate as to prevent fixation either on an instrument or the horizon for that matter. Let me explain by way of an example. Let’s say we need to maintain 55 KIAS (knots indicated air speed) but we observe the ASI (Airspeed indicator) reads 65 KIAS. The correct way would be to scan at the ASI, observe the incorrect speed, look OUTSIDE at the attitude, make the corrective ATTITUDE change and wait for it to take affect and then rescan the ASI to check the result. The incorrect way would be to make the corrective attitude change while staring at the ASI and wait to see the result while STILL staring at the ASI. Don’t try and scan all the instruments together, split them up by looking at the attitude (horizon) between looking at DIFFERENT instruments.

Drivers should plan on taking some time to get used to the new driving environment. Remember that most likely, you have never driven on the left hand side, and it may take a little while to get used to it. Practice, even just around the block if you need to, it will be worth it. This goes double for people who are renting manual transmission cars. You are going to want to be familiar with the road signs, so a great idea is to bring a driving guide to read on the flight over.
Most people choose to rent a vehicle with the CDW and theft included. This is because most credit cards do not offer 
insurance in Ireland, due to the high rate of accidents. If you purchase the CDW, ask about the deductible amounts. It may be worth buying extra insurance to cover that amount if it is too high. In the event that you have one of the cards that will cover you, there are a couple things you should do. Call your credit card company, tell them exactly what you intend on doing. Tell them who will be driving, where you are going, how many passengers, the type of car you are renting, etc.Print out a copy of the credit card’s offered coverage where it clearly states that the coverage is offered in Ireland. You will need to have this with you when you pick up the car.
If you are picking up a car rental in Dublin, or any major airport, be sure to check if there are any additional fees for the pick up location.
It’s really cold in winter if you are visiting UK or ireland during that time, so dont forget to take a pair of ugg uk with you
