Coriolis illusion causing spatial disorientation the result of Simultaneous head movements during aircraft manoeuvres. coriolis illusion the illusion of rotation or movement in an entirely different axis caused an abrupt head movement while in a prolonged constant rate turn that has ceased to stimulate brain s motion sensing system this involves simultaneous stimulation of two semicircular canals is associated with a sudden tilting (forward or backwards) of pilot's head while aircraft turning this can occur when tilting head down (to look at an approach chart or to write on knee pad) or up (to look at an overhead instrument or switch) or sideways this can produce an overpowering sensation that aircraft rolling pitching yawing all at same time which can be compared with sensation of rolling down a hillside this illusion can make pilot quickly become disoriented lose control of aircraft.

When turning in imc head movements should be avoided as much as possible this a prevention against Simultaneous head movements during aircraft manoeuvres. coriolis illusion the illusion of rotation or movement in an entirely different axis caused an abrupt head movement while in a prolonged constant rate turn that has ceased to stimulate brain s motion sensing system this involves simultaneous stimulation of two semicircular canals is associated with a sudden tilting (forward or backwards) of pilot's head while aircraft turning this can occur when tilting head down (to look at an approach chart or to write on knee pad) or up (to look at an overhead instrument or switch) or sideways this can produce an overpowering sensation that aircraft rolling pitching yawing all at same time which can be compared with sensation of rolling down a hillside this illusion can make pilot quickly become disoriented lose control of aircraft. Question Basics of Flight Physiology 108 Answer 10
A pilot who trying to pick up a fallen object from cockpit floor during a tight turn may experience Simultaneous head movements during aircraft manoeuvres. the coriolis illusion caused making a quick head movement during a constant rate turn that has ceased stimulating inner ear the most common occurrence of this a pilot making a timed 180 degree turn one minute dropping a pen approach plate etc thus stirring up fluid in inner ear when pilot comes back up he will feel as though he straight level although his instruments show he still turning.

Decompression symptoms are caused Dissolved gases from tissues fluids of body. decompression sickness describes a condition arising from dissolved gases coming out of solution into bubbles inside body on depressurisation decompression sickness most commonly refers to a specific type of underwater diving hazard but may be experienced in other depressurisation events such as caisson working or flying in unpressurised aircraft since bubbles can form in or migrate to any part of body decompression sickness can produce many symptoms its effects may vary from joint pain rashes to paralysis death individual susceptibility can vary from day to day different individuals under same conditions may be affected differently or not at all.
