Well, close your eyes and make the turn, and see where you end up.

True but irrelevant.

On the contrary, it's important. Can you really be sure that your
turn is perfectly coordinated and that you are holding altitude
without ever looking at the instruments? How do you know how far
you've turned? How do you tell the difference between an
uncoordinated turn and being pushed by the wind?

In VFR you are much safer looking out the window than staring at the
instruments like a simmer, especially in a turn.

In VFR you are safest if you do both. And you can look out the window
in a sim, too.

Wrong.

How do you know the difference between a coordinated turn and, say, an
uncoordinated turn that encounters wind that moves the aircraft? If
you depend on sensation alone, an updraft or downdraft might make you
think that an uncoordinated turn is level and coordinated, when in
fact it is uncoordinated and you are climbing or descending.


Anthony, are you talking from your exensive experience in up/down drafts in
a real airplane or is this yet another of your fantasies while jerking off
to MSFS?
