I'll ask again: Can you fly safely with your eyes closed, relying
only on sensations, and selectively ignoring or accepting the
sensations you feel?

What part of you must spend as much time as possible looking out
the window in VFR are you failing to understand?

You guys are hilariously arguing right past each other. MX is
arguing that you can't fly in IMC ("with your eyes closed") by the
seat of your pants -- which is 100% correct.
You, on the other hand, jrespond by arguing that of COURSE you can
fly by the seat of your pants, if only you look out the window!
God almighty, keep it up -- it's "Who's on first" all over again, and
some pretty damned good Saturday night entertainment!
:-)

After doing a weird manuever, it's hard to tell if you're
in a banking turn or a spiral dive, that's how I learned.
Maybe a good pilot could use VFR as a ref, but I was
clued in by my IAS needle going into yellow.

I was a fairly good gymnast, so my orientational
skills are likely a bit better than average.
