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

I have fairly recently started motorcycling
and I was not taught anything about head
movement however I have found that it
seems to help my visual perception
(depth perception?) if I keep my eyes
horizontal (wrt the horizon:-). My natural
action is to lean my head with the bike.


In the training I received, it was made very clear that your head must
remain level with the horizon. The reason? Because you'll suffer
spatial disorientation if you move your head. The same should apply
in an aircraft.


You're an idiot and you're a liar.
