I was fast as hell in standing Randori an managed not to end up down there very often. Sensi was Takihito Ishikawa. Dabbled in Tai Chai Chuan and Kung Fu. Just enough to get me out of street trouble growing up in inner city is all I wanted :-) What impressed me about those skills is not the physical part but the mental part and carrying them over to our everyday living part of this being acutely what you sense or feel.. So, I try to carry the mental skills to my flying and be acutely aware of my senses which based on yours and Roberts responses may be my downfall :-) I didn't mean to sound overly critical. It would be my wish that you would possibly consider some residual reading on the extremely important issue of physical sensation and IFR flight. It's never too late to alter one's approach on something this critical. Believe me, the best thing you'll ever do as a pilot is seek out and actively encourage unmercifully truthful opinion on your performance. I've been involved at times professionally and always as a friend with the Air Force Thunderbirds and Navy Blue Angels for decades. I have many friends who flew on various teams. I've sat in on their post flight debriefs where they openly review each show. At these sessions the rank comes off and nothing exists but what was right and what was wrong. I've based my own aviation career on this same philosophy. I've sought out and considered the opinions of my peers and discussed openly with them what they have observed of my performance. It's just too important for anything else. I learn every day. You will as well. We're both better pilots for this. -- Dudley Henriques |

It's never too late to alter one's approach on something this critical. You are right, and I fully understand you and Robert about ignoring leans and other erroneous UNSOLICITED feelings incurred in flight and one MUST TRUST THE INSTRUMENTS when that happens. I am more talking about expected feelings resulting from my input of power ONLY. Yanks and banks as stated earlier as one cannot do this without instruments in IMC and every text book covers this well... I am the first one to acknowledge the problem is there with the inner ear stuff, and have actively taking up VFR and instrument students inside IMC so they can see it will kill them if they don't respect it. Their reactions have been priceless and equally the same, they (VFR pilots) won't touch a cloud. Drifting a little here, the biggest flaw which fortunately did not happen to me is that I am seeing way too many instrument pilots getting their IA rating without touching a cloud in conducting approaches. That bothers me the most. My instructor had me go down to ILS minimums so when I did my first solo instrument flight with 1000 foot ceilings, it really was a non event. EXCITING yes! It's just too important for anything else. I learn every day. You will as well. We're both better pilots for this. And it's exchanges like this that we learn from each other :-) I been away from the student group for some time (first post I believe was in 1991 for me) because of the noise level and just thought I would pop in to see if it was reduced and it hasn't changed I see. And most importantly to me, is EVERYTIME I walk on the ramp to my plane, I am in learning / student mode. NOTHING is taken for granted by this pilot from preflight to tie down. It's only AFTER I put the plane to bed by tying it down have I stopped flying the plane. I believe most people believe they stopped flyiing the plane when they shut down the master.. I go further...... |
