I have to reread this thread carefully, because I put this same question to one of my FI's just a week or 2 ago, and I did not get it. I kinda shuffled it away with a mental note to self to research a little more when I have time. So I will sit down on this thread and go through it on the weekend. Be prepared for more questions from me! Maybe when you got it sorted creaze, you can explain it to me. It will also help you understand it better!

I agree with flare pilot when stated "overthinking things can actually make a pilot neglect other things, like airspeed, or not hitting a mountain." For us new pilots, we dont need in depth understanding of the physics to an engineers level, just a dumbed down version of it that explains how the plane flies is enough. This is why I like stick and rudder so much. As experience grows, the level of the physics can (and should) increase. In saying that, I personally get as much enjoyment from understanding the physics as I do flying the plane!
