Pilots who fly IFR most of the time spend most of their day managing the autopilot or programming the flight management computer. On the ground we are completing checklists, communicating with ATC and taxing. Managing distractions are crucial in all phases of your trip. The news has been full of close calls, and I was cut off by an airliner while taxiing not long ago. If anyone has gone into Lake Havasu in the summer will understand managing VFR traffic and terrain simultaneously.
