The fly by the seat of my pants did not feel like I had a 20 to 30

waaaaaaaaay more then Vx pitch).

Had I followed the horizon indicator and leveled the plane soley by
the HI, I would have been in a 20 degee pitch down and augured it in.
There was nothing accurate about my HI and it was my seat of the
pants feeling that set all sorts of alarms and bells out in my head..


You were lucky. Most people who have trusted the seat of their pants
in IMC are dead. It probably wouldn't be a good idea to press your
luck.


You are an idiot and you have no idea of what you're talking about.
