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

Because I know how the vestibular system works.


No, you don't. If the turn is slow your vestibular system won't
register it at all, it's not a gyro but an accelerometer!

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 again.

That's because pilots here really don't know much. Yet you continue
to ask.

And if you can discern probable good answers from suspect answers, it
suggests you know what the answer is.

F--

Actually, both you and Moore are correct really :-)) The body should
remain straight and the head should not be "tilted" off the straight
axis, but turning the head to look where you're going is absolutely
correct. Turning the head while remaining straight up in the seat is
not the same thing as bending the body off axis away from the turn
which is I believe the main gist of the original poster's question.

and there I was, talking to the pax, checking the chart and scanning
instruments and the passing real estate.
Lots of head movement and body movement.
This is just another attempt by our pet pillock to sound like a pilot
instaed of a pile-it

I can just see him on his ducati trying to find control+alt+delete as he
comes flying over the handlebars over the hood of some SUV

LOL! Been there done that!

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).

Why not?

I agree.

False. The aircraft is being accelerated to one side.

Nope, wrong again, moron.

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.

Most don't want to tel you because you are a tit.
