Learning to lean
The other day I was doing some instrument work brush up for my flight
test. The first five hours of IF I did about 9 moths ago, and at that
time I recall that I did not find it all hard to roll out of turns on
a heading. However that seems to have changed, this week I found it
quite hard to steady the plane after a long rate 1 (TC only as this
was partial panel work). I've been puzzling over this and wonder if
the trouble is that I'm starting to feel the flight more by other
senses -in effect have I developed a sensitivity to the leans as my
body has learned to feed more flight attitude info to my cranium? In
any case, there could not have been a more dramatic demo for why MSFS
is a pale shadow of the reaql thing! Is this to be expected when just
using the TC in partial panel? Any thoughts welcome.
Cheers
