While in IMC, a pilot often interprets acceleration or deceleration forces as a sensation of
climbing or descending.
1844
Abrupt head movement during a prolonged constant rate turn in IMC or simulated instrument conditions can cause
Coriolis illusion.
1845
Street lights, stars, sloping cloud formations, or an obscured horizon may lead to
false horizon.
1846
An abrupt transition from a climb to straight-and-level flight can create the illusion of
tumbling backward.
When answers: a wings level descent, a nose up attitude, tumbling backwards; choose =
Tumbling backwards
1847
A rapid acceleration during takeoff can create the illusion of
being in a nose up attitude.
Rapid Acceleration illusion: Nose up
1849
The sensations which lead to spatial disorientation during instrument flight conditions
must be suppressed and complete reliance placed on the indications of the flight instruments.
1850
How can an instrument pilot best overcome spatial disorientation?
Read and interpret the flight instrument, and act accordingly.
1853
A pilot is subject to spatial disorientation when they
rely on their senses to interpret flight attitude.
2652
Abrupt head movement during a prolonged constant rate turn in IMC or simulated instrument conditions can cause the illusion of
turning or accelerating on a different axis.
Rate turn = turning
2964
Spatial disorientation can be mitigated during instrument flight by
Relying on the instruments.
3122
While in IMC, in order to overcome spatial disorientation, you need to
Rely on correct interpretation of flight instruments.
