Hi Golden
But isn't the basics of instrument flying is to only trust your instruments and not your feelings. Humans have no instincts in the air. Somatogravic factor comes in when the pilot is trying a pitch change without looking at the PFD and as a result it is too shallow. In FlyDubai copilot didn't suffer it because he was monitoring the pitch and guiding the PF perfectly. Unfortunately the PF had gone into the realm of the irrational. AF447 no somatogravic illusion but again commanding a pitch without looking at PFD. This loss of scan causes the problem. These are also procedural errors.
