Default Head orientation in turns--how is it taught for aviation?
writes:

That there is no lateral force with respect to a line perpendicular
to the wings of the aircraft.

There is a lateral force with respect to a line perpendicular to the horizon,
however, and so if one keeps his head perpendicular to the horizon in a turn,
he will perceive the turn as a lateral movement (which it is).
