If you are USING a seat of the pants sensation as a cue to ACT
rather than as a cue that expansion of the cross check is
warranted, you are going to die in instrument
conditions.....period! You NEVER include a seat of the pants
feeling into your reactive action path when on instruments.
Look; let me make this perfectly clear. There is NO actionable
difference between the "leans" and a "seat of the pants" sensation.
BOTH are present and of course felt. BOTH might be telling you
something so they should not be ignored. But BOTH are physical
sensations and as such are NEVER used as a source to make a control
change while IFR. If you feel a physical sensation while on
instruments, it is indeed a cue, but NOT an actionable cue. ALL
sensations are simply there. You NEVER act in ANY way on what ANY
sensation is giving you in the way of a cue. If the sensation is
expected by something you have done control wise that's fine. If it
isn't, don't act on it. Your scan is in progress at all times. If
something looks out of line, EXPAND THE SCAN! You control the
aircraft based on instrument cues ONLY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! You exist in
a world of physical cues. Simply know they are there and go to the
panel!! God.I hope this clears this up!


Clear and concise. Excellent!!


Yeah I really love that word "ACTIONABLE".
I'm going to use it actionably.



I'm sure you will.
