Nimbus 265

I must respect your capabilities, but PPL training tells us the earhole and backside cannot be depended upon when the eyes are out of the loop. Recall the party trick of standing on one leg with eyes closed and falling over after a minute, and the Instructor telling us to shut eyes just before recoveries from u/p's. I've tried that CAA revolving chair and that did for me as well.

If these misleading sensations can be ovecome by being more intimately in tune with the machine, maybe power pilots should go up high, chop the power and practice some gliding to get used to those subtle sounds and sensations.
