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

Head orientation in turns--how is it taught for aviation?
"Mxsmanic" wrote in message ... 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). You're clueless. No wonder you never understood flying back through your own wake on a 360. |

Head orientation in turns--how is it taught for aviation?
wrote in message ups.com... There was a thread a while ago about how not only could one stay with the force into the seat, but actually maintain 1 G straight into the seat through a roll. If one is flying coordinated, keeping normal to the airplane makes sense. Those how fly aerobatics have a different set of criteria. For what it's worth, watching the in cockpit cameras of some moderatedly skilled pilots, like the Blue Angels, shows them "upright" with respect to the airplane except when G forces sling their heads around, but they do fly coordinated most of the time. But what do they know? That is either untrue, or real misleading. The Blues fly with a different purpose, keep the aircraft on trajectory. When they are flying a knife edge, they are hardly coordinated, as with many other maneuvers. A 1g barrel roll can be done, but the required trajectory of the aircraft is not going to be one that is necessarily eye pleasing for ground demonstration purposes. |

Nope. the only thing you can do at 1 G is straight and level flight. You can keep positive G around a barrel roll, but not 1 G Bertie |

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. Perhaps pilots would be less prone to disorientation if they kept their heads normal to the horizon, even in turns (for instrument flight, this would mean keeping one's head level with the horizon of the attitude indicator). I note from in-cockpit videos of aerobatic pilots that they keep their heads level with the horizon, not level with the aircraft. Watch again and pay attention. Here is a good example http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5NrJCkmDnr4 You'll see that in coordinated turns they keeep their heads with the aircraft, not with the horizon. The hungaran pilot bends his neck a lot, but not in coordinated turns. - Tom |

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. Sometimes I do keep my head level with the horizon in a turn to assess bank angle peripherally while I clear ahead of the plane (this would normally be when I am in a medium turn and are clearing in front of the A pillar in a C172). I'm not sure if this is right or wrong, I just do it. |
