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. |

Well, close your eyes and make the turn, and see where you end up. That's yet another blazingly stupid comment to make. True but irrelevant. On the contrary, it's important. Can you really be sure that your turn is perfectly coordinated and that you are holding altitude without ever looking at the instruments? Yes. How do you know how far you've turned? Looking out the window. It is a VFR turn, remember from the stuff you cut? How do you tell the difference between an uncoordinated turn and being pushed by the wind? Once again a blazingly stupid comment that shows you know nothing about flying. In VFR you are much safer looking out the window than staring at the instruments like a simmer, especially in a turn. In VFR you are safest if you do both. And you can look out the window in a sim, too. Wrong. You are safest spending as much time as possible looking out the window. When low and slow I will occasionally glance at the turn coordinator, but other than that it is basically ignored. Wrong. How do you know the difference between a coordinated turn and, say, an uncoordinated turn that encounters wind that moves the aircraft? If you depend on sensation alone, an updraft or downdraft might make you think that an uncoordinated turn is level and coordinated, when in fact it is uncoordinated and you are climbing or descending. Utter nonsense. Since you have never flown, you have no idea just how idiotic that statement is. -- Jim Pennino Remove .spam.sux to reply. |

How do you tell the difference between an uncoordinated turn and being pushed by the wind? Oh god, soooo wrong. You are safest spending as much time as possible looking out the window. Why?

Yet another blazingly stupid response that shows you know nothing about real flight, not even the terminology. The term "flying by the seat of your pants" does not mean flying blindfolded.
