Regarding head movements, I am pretty sure that I recall being told that military fighter pilots were taught that turning their head and tilting it down at the same time could result in dissorientation - as in say moving from looking straight ahead to looking towards a hip. In the small amount of flying that I did I think that it was strictly expected that the head should be kept pretty much still with respect to the airframe unless perhaps looking at something inside the cockpit. I am pretty certain that no side to side tilting was allowed on pain of a rap on the back of the head: -) I would certainly fancy sticking to that since it avoids the problem of what to do when you run out of neck travel. In some aircraft there will not be room to move the head much. Will watch the next Red Bull races to see what happens there. My betting is that the head stays with the airframe. 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. |

If a turn is coordinated, you don't feel a turn no matter how your head is oriented. Not true. If you hold your head normal to the horizon, you should feel the sideways acceleration in the turn. If you hold it normal to the wings, you'll feel it as a climb or descent. Wrong, simulator boy. If the turn is coordinated, there is no "sideways" force to perceive as that is the definition of a cooridinated turn. The only thing the human senses will perceive is an increase in apparent weight which will depend on the turn rate. -- Jim Pennino Remove .spam.sux to reply. |

: When you make a coordinated turn in an aircraft, are you taught to let your head tilt with the bank angle of the aircraft, or are you taught to keep your head normal to the horizon? In your case they'd tell you to take it out of your ass first. Not that thye could tel you anything at all. Terrorist wannabe boi. Bertie |

: Vaughn Simon writes: I usually avoid these threads but there is a safety issue here. I teach my students to LOOK WHERE THEY ARE GOING. But you can look where you're going in both cases: with your head level with the horizon, and with your head level with the aircraft but not with your head up your ass, fjukktard Bertie |

: Bob Moore writes: Head and body should remain perpendicular to the floor of the cockpit. This comes naturally if the turn is coordinated. Interesting. When you learn to ride a motorcycle, you're taught to keep your head normal to the horizon in turns ... because turning your head with the bike as you lean into a turn results in disorientation. Yeah, lkike you'd ride a bike, Bull**** boi Bertie |

: Thomas Borchert writes: So what is the difference between a bike and a plane in a turn? None, if the turn is level and coordinated, from a vestibular standpoint. And why would your idea below lead to more disorientation in a plane, not less? You can figure it out. Just try. Explain it to me. Why? Bertie |

: Bob Moore writes: Because they are not normally operating in coordinated flight. Why would that make a difference? What they seem to be doing is minimizing the tilting of their heads, just as motorcycle racers, ballet dancers, and ice skaters do. You're an idiot. Bertie |
