What people are asserting here is 180 degrees different from
what
I read in all the literature. You cannot fly by the seat of
your
pants.
You can't fly based on sensations. They are too unreliable.
Conversely, you can fly without sensations, as long as you
have visual and/or instrument information.

You're a moron. You're not competent to read with
comprehension.
Anthony, you don't know **** from shinola.

Presuming we're talking about IFR flight, what, precisely, do
you find incorrect in MX's paragraph, above?

Many years ago, on a bet, I did a pretty fair 4 point
roll.......BLINDFOLDED! I got lunch and a half dozen beers out of
the
deal.

A plane is flown by sensations. In the short term, it's quite
reliable. In the long term, slight errors start to compound and
need
to be eliminated by squaring things up with the instruments or
horizon. When you catch an updraft coming over a ridge, do you
wait for the altimeter to tell you you're climbing? Or do you
slightly lower the nose based on FEELING the additional lift?
How about landing. Are you FLYING visually or by feel? Do you
NEED
to
look at the airspeed indicator to tell if you're trending faster
or slower? I fly by feel. I orient myself visually, either
looking out the window or looking at the instruments. I navigate
visually. But
I
FLY by feel. Humans are hard wired with a decent inertial nav.
system. MX is a few wires short of a complete circuit.

I pretty much agree with MX, the human inertial nav
is clumsy, we didn't have the evolution of birds.
An example is a "spiral dive", it's actually quite benign
from the standpoint of inertial inputs, it's better to use
instruments.

Like you could.

You're a moron!

Sorry, Bertie. That last response was meant for Ken "****head"
Tucker, the wannabe mother ****er.

Heh heh, too bad, I was hoping for a "no, you're a moron" marathon.
