That's exactly how instrument training is done. The student wears a hood so he can only see the instruments. The instructor puts the airplane in various situations where your senses lie, and the student has to recover.
My dad, against orders, carried a piece of pipe with him, to ensure the student would not panic and kill them both. He said he never had to use it.

- genewitch 1y agoI really was hoping to make a lead pipe cryptanalysis rhyming reference but neither I nor Gemini can make it work, and I don't want to go get my thesaurus and rhyming dictionary to work something out. Lead pipe crash avoidance closest I could get.

- WalterBright 1y agoIt wasn't lead. Steel.
- genewitch 1y agoI had paralysis as an option but, imo, a good rhyme would have the same cadence, and adding the "for" or "with" messes up the cadence. "no place like home for the holidays" -> "no plate like chrome for the hollandaise".
