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. -c 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! -- Dudley Henriques |
