Given historical precedent of FGFS developers going for flight training...
This is another nice contribution to the fschool document.
Thanks Alex.!
a magazine gave tips for motion sickness in boats, relevant to acft too.
1. Look at the horizon and try to have your side peripheral vision be
horizon and not the moving side of the vehicle (if feasible).
2. Orient yourself and/or the vehicle so most of the motion is side to
side; humans are more sensitive to longitudinal pitching.
3. Avoid tasks that require vision and preclude adherence to (1) above,
so don't look at instruments or charts unless absolutely necessary.
4. Adjust air vents for a light draft of cool fresh air, but not a breeze.
5. Sit so your back and neck are supported and the muscles can relaz.
6. Do something active, such as fly the plane or discuss with instructor.
7. Eat and drink, preferably well before before takeoff, and avoid foods
that cause dehydration such as coffee and some sodas (for example).
8. Always get plenty of sleep beforehand and avoid unnecessary stress.
An important element of 3,6,8 is to brief the flight carefully beforehand
and, where appropriate, pick up the lesson plan at the conclusion of the
previous lesson so you can practice the activity using FlightGear first.
Depending on the goal, FGFS may or may not accelerate that training,
but it will definitely reduce stress, help you relax and look outside.
