If you have neither instruments nor visual references to depend on, you're in
serious trouble, no matter what the magic sensations to which you've become
mystically attuned as a pilot.

In VFR you are supposed to be looking out the window. In that case the
sensation is your only indicator of an uncoordinated turn.


You're permitted to look at instruments even under VFR.

If your are doing something other than looking out the window or
glancing at the instruments, the sensation still tells you that you
are in an uncoordinated turn.


Maybe it does, maybe it doesn't. If you really need to know, you have an
instrument that will tell you.

A real pilot in a real airplane does not need a turn and bank indicator
to make a coordinated turn.


So pilots wimpy and cowardly enough to resort to instruments are not Real
Pilots, eh? Where have I seen mention of this attitude in the literature?
