Question 11

ICE FLAGGS

Answer 11

Inversion (Climb to straight and level = Tumbling backward feeling)
Coriolis (Head movements in prolonged turns)
Elevator (Updraft/Downdraft causes a pilot to pitch up or down)
False Horizons (Sloping clouds, terrain, etc)
Leans (Banking illusion that occurs by relying on physical sensations rather than instrumentation)
Autokinesis (Stationary lights appear to move)
Graveyard Spiral (Constant rate turn downwards)
Graveyard Spin (Pilot recovers from spin but senses they are in a new spin, so re-enter that spin)
Somatogravic (Caused by rapid acceleration or deceleration that results in a pitch up or down)
