0 viewsOct 5, 2026
Why your body can fool you in flight: the inner ear only feels changes, so in cloud you can bank without noticing. You see the leans, take-off and runway illusions, and a test that shows why pilots trust the instruments.
What you learn
- Explain why the inner ear misses a slow, steady turn
- Describe spatial disorientation and the leans
- Explain how speeding up and odd runways fool you
- Explain why untrained pilots must stay out of cloud
