You'd be surprised how many pilots have never tried flying without the
ASI. I often cover it up and assign a speed to show them they can get
pretty close (within 5) just by sound. I learned that from my primary
instructor in the 50's. Later I tried the same thing with the altimeter
in the pattern and was quite surprised at how close you can get there
too.
No reason not to learn something new all the time and add it to your
bag of tricks and skills. Never know when it might save your life?!
Enjoy your flying time. Nothing else like it and you are part of a very
special group of people.
Cheers
Ol S&B
