Hope this helps.

Actually it is confusing me more as I thought we were discussing how to turn an airplane using outside reference aided by verification of some instruments.

When turning an airplane in conditions where the outside reference does not have a normal horizon I have always relied on the indications of the altimeter as a conformation that I am maintaining level flight in the turn. ( maintaining a given altitude. )

I have not mastered the skill of being able to determine attitude by " feedback from the ailerons ".

Maybe I need to improve my stick and rudder skills?
