(Edit: “Rules,” not “Rating.” Sorry.)
Obviously I don’t know beans about flying, but I see many stories about inexperienced pilots who get disoriented flying through clouds, sometimes even to the point of flying upside-down. Aren’t there instruments on your control panel which tell you your speed, altitude, and orientation? How can you be plummeting towards the ground and not notice?
I hope this question isn’t so ignorant as to be insulting. I know flying is difficult and complicated and it’s easy to criticize from here on the ground. I wish I was skilled enough to know how to fly a plane. I just see many stories about accidents where inexperienced pilots seem to be making apparently ridiculous mistakes.

Others will have covered the body lying to you and having to make yourself trust the instruments.
The thing i didn’t see mentioned is instruments lie and each tells a different set of lies. Think about the gas gauge in your car. Does it read accurate? Does it show full when it’s full or above or below? When the gauge shows empty are you out of gas? If not do you have gallons or miles?
