Gotcha. *That's quite a different "sensation" than the inner ear -- thanks
for the clarification.

However, I think many in this group are arguing right past MX, dismissing
him out of hand simply because most of the respondents can't stand him.
Your point that seat of the pants pressure sensations are used during
instrument flight does not disprove MX's point about the necessity of
relying primarily on your instruments for accurate information in IMC.

Jay, folks in this group dismiss his ideas about instrument flight in
the same way that someone who's been married for over 40 years would
dismiss a lecture on sexual technique from a 7 year old. Maybe the 7
year old is precocious and has read a lot of books and seen a lot of
magazines, but he still has nothing to offer to an experienced adult.
Pretty much the same thing applies to you in this regard as you have
only made it to somewhere between second and third base in the IFR
realm. There are a lot of people on this group who are quite
experienced in IFR flight and I might be one of them. But I still
welcome the opportunity to learn from those who have earned my
respect. The IFR virgins should shut up, listen and learn.

Next time you're at the airport after passing your IFR check ride and
you happen to bump into your Instrument Instructor, first thing he'll
ask you is "did you get it wet yet?"
