Well, yes, but you can also feel (in the seat of your pants) that you
are climbing, when you aren't. As you said, the senses are unreliable,
and part of the skills of instrument flying is being =able= to disregard
those sensations when they disagree with the instruments.


I was thinking more in terms of mxs' assertion you shouldn't learn
about those senses because they don't help your flying..
