so I wouldn't be so affirmative re this "poor instrument flying skills".
. During Instrument flying traning pilots are trained to manoeuvre the aircraft accurately purely according to the instrument indications. When a GA requires 15° pitch up but is executed at 4 or degrees isn't it poor flying? I will again say that it all starts with giving pitch inputs without looking at the attitude indicator. In FlyDubai the FO who was monitoring the attitude did not suffer any illusion and perfectly advised the captain. In Atlas air case (though to early) the FO was opposite. He didn't check the attitude but voiced his illusion loudly misleading the pilot who wasn't monitoring either. The aim here is not blame but find a way out of this. Which is to imbibe that pitch inputs require attitude reference.
Somatogravic illusion could be avoided or at least minimized by performing a soft go around.
Pineteam I would say feel what you will but do only what you are supposed to.
