Um...I thought that was what I was saying.

I also use sound more than my tach.

Unless IFR, the instruments are only a backup and verification tool.
You keep your wings level by looking at the wingtips. You hold
altitude by developing a sight picture over the nose. You briefly
scan your instruments to verify and refine altitude and heading.


And you don't depend on sensations.

Why on Earth are you continually trying to exclude sight (and sound) from
"sensations"? They are, indeed, human sensory inputs and flying aircraft
of any type is absolutely dependent on them.

Trying to shift the context of the responses you've been given only makes
you look worse, because you aren't fooling any "real aircraft" pilots.
