Well, let's remember it takes one example to refute an absolutist
argument.

There is not a rated pilot here who will argue with this: In IMC or
VMC, he or she, relies very much on the sensation of the reduction of
yoke pressure for trimming the airplane. We of course depend on all
available inputs to determine the attitude of the airplane, but we
trim entirely by feel.

One could also invoke a Clintonism technique: it depends on what you
mean by physical sensations -- eyes are a sensory input, too.


Very well put.

This whole thread sounds like nothing more than a word game, fueled by
nit pickers.

Who flies anything, especially IMC, without making use of all input.


How would you know, wannabe boi?
