I think what might be confusing some people reading this thread is
that even though the pilot should always be avoiding physical
sensation as a cue to perform an action while on instruments, Normal
scan technique involves the constant presence of physical sensations.
This means tht you are literally cross checking physical sensation
constantly against what the instruments are telling you. The trick to
staying alive is in being aware of these physical sensations but
accepting without question what the clocks are telling you.


Thanks, Dudley. I think that pretty much boils it down.

That funny buffeting feeling and mushiness of controls on a long apprach
might tell you to that it's time to get your eyes off the glide slope
needle and scan the instrument panel. An alert pilot wouldn't dismiss
it as turbulence, but at the same time he wouldn't panic and shove the
nose forward, either.

Exactly. It's not that the senses aren't there. They are. It's that when
you ACT, you act on what the instruments are telling you, if they
coincide with the sensation, all well and good, but you NEVER act on a
sensation while IFR!
