Those sensations aren't necessarily imporant, unless one is flying by the seat
of one's pants, which probably isn't a good idea for most types of flight.

Those sensations are very important. Knowing how to interpret them
(and how to avoid misinterpreting them) is especially important.

"There are three sources of actual 'feel' that are very important to the
pilot. One is the pilot's own body as it responds to the forces of
acceleration. The 'G' loads imposed on the airframe are also felt by the
pilot. Centripetal accelerations for the pilot down into the seat or
raise the pilot against the seat belt. Radial accelerations, as they
produce slips or skids of the airframe, shift the pilot from side to
side in the seat. These forces need not be strong, only perceptible by
the pilot to be useful. An accomplished pilot who had excellent 'feel'
for the airplane will be able to detect even the minutest change.

"Another type of 'feel' comes to the pilot through the airframe. It
consists mainly of vibration. An example is the aerodynamic buffeting
and shaking that precedes a stall.
....
"The senses that contribute to 'feel' of the airplane are inherent in
every person. However, 'feel' must be developed. The flight instructor
should direct the beginning pilot to be attuned to these senses and
teach an awareness of their meaning as it relates to various conditions
of flight. To do this effectively, the flight instructor must fully
understand the difference between perceiving something and merely
noticing it. It is a well established fact that the pilot who develops a
"feel" for the airplane early in flight training will have little
difficulty with advanced flight maneuvers." - FAA-H-8083-3A
