Ignoring instrument misreadings during IMT 1 can lead to what outcome?

Ignoring instrument misreadings creates a mismatch between what you think the airplane is doing and what it’s actually doing. You might continue a maneuver with the wrong pitch, bank, or airspeed, which can quickly lead to loss of control or an unsafe flight path. The proper approach is to continually cross-check indications against other instruments and outside cues to confirm accuracy and keep the aircraft on the correct path. Aborting maneuvers or improvements in stability aren’t direct consequences of ignoring misreadings; they don’t address the fundamental risk of acting on faulty data.
