If you have neither instruments nor visual references to depend on, you're in serious trouble, no matter what the magic sensations to which you've become mystically attuned as a pilot. There is no visual reference that will tell you whether or not you are coordinated in a turn and there is nothing magical or mystical to the sensation once you've felt it. Obviously you are totally unable to relate. In VFR you are supposed to be looking out the window. In that case the sensation is your only indicator of an uncoordinated turn. You're permitted to look at instruments even under VFR. True but irrelevant. In VFR you are much safer looking out the window than staring at the instruments like a simmer, especially in a turn. ` If your are doing something other than looking out the window or glancing at the instruments, the sensation still tells you that you are in an uncoordinated turn. Maybe it does, maybe it doesn't. If you really need to know, you have an instrument that will tell you. Wrong. It does. A real pilot in a real airplane does not need a turn and bank indicator to make a coordinated turn. So pilots wimpy and cowardly enough to resort to instruments are not Real Pilots, eh? Where have I seen mention of this attitude in the literature? Point totally, absolutely, and completely missed. -- Jim Pennino Remove .spam.sux to reply. |
