Navigating between gates is usually done by flying what you can see and reacting real-time to conditions.

When you get to a gate, or perform a turn or a split-s, these manoeuvres can be executed faster than you can see and process so Instead you go faster than your brain by memorising the timing of your inputs and execute them from memory rather than flying what you can see.

For example, if i want to do a barrel roll, i don’t watch the horizon. Instead i rely on my memory of how fast it rotates at full stick deflection.

Sometimes these set pieces go wrong - you clip a gate for example - it’s usually my hearing processes that a fraction of a second before my vision does.

It’s quite common to fly without vision for short periods, the analogue video feed is not reliable.
