A climb. You cannot tell whether you are climbing or turning based on
sensations alone in IMC. You might be in a coordinated turn, or you might be
in an accelerating climb.

Additionally, your body will only sense the beginning of a change in
acceleration, and only if it exceeds a certain threshold. You cannot tell how
much you are accelerating based on sensation alone, nor can you accurately
gauge the exact magnitude of the acceleration.
