Co-pilot gets sick, stewardess helps land airplane

Ignore what the plane tells you before a stall and YOU would
be dead.
Fly the airplane correctly and you won't have to be told about an impending
stall by the airplane. If you feel an impending stall, you're already too far
behind the aircraft.
One of the first things I was taught was to NOT ignore what the plane
is trying to tell you.
It seems to have made an overriding impression upon you, as you seem to rely
upon it above all else. If you're not careful, that will kill you one day,
unless you stick to perfect VMC.
It WILL tell you when it's ready to stop
flying BEFORE it shows on your airspeed indicator something you have
no clue about since MSFS doesn't indicate this.
As I've said, if you are flying correctly, you won't get any secret messages
from the aircraft.
You may be able to get away with flying like this in a Cessna 152, but it
won't work in a 747.
As others already told you, you feel it in the controls (mushy, then
shudders).
Only after you've fallen behind the airplane.
It's a bit like saying you know you're approaching the braking limit in your
car when one of the wheels locks. That's very true, but by the time one of the
wheels locks, you're already far beyond where you should safely be. Where
there's smoke, there's fire, but it's better to avoid conditions that start
fires to begin with.
Same thing for landing, ignore what the plane when it's not ready to
land and YOU would be dead. You feel it before you see it indicated
on instruments.
You need to find other ways to fly than by the seat of your pants. Or stop
flying IFR, at least.
