In normal instrument flight, pilots are trained to ignore what their body is telling them. Not exactly. I was told to understand and be able to recognize various physiological illusions, but I was told NOT to ignore others. For example, if my ears--my body--tell me that the prop or engine is winding up, I might be experiencing a change in power, airspeed or a rapid descent even though the pitot-static instruments are not moving? To extend this logic, if my eyes--my body--tell me that there's a mountain in my way, do I ignore it just because the altitude indicator is stuck on 12,000? If my nose--my body--smells smoke or burning oil but the engine instruments don't show a problem, do I ignore my senses? If all of a sudden I feel like I weigh 500 pounds or an unbelted passenger is floating around the cabin, odds are something isn't right. -c Commercial Pilot, Instrument, ASEL Advanced Ground Instructor |
