Default Head orientation in turns--how is it taught for aviation?

Because I know how the vestibular system works.


No, you don't. If the turn is slow your vestibular system won't
register it at all, it's not a gyro but an accelerometer!

If a turn is coordinated, you don't feel a turn no matter how your
head is oriented.


Not true. If you hold your head normal to the horizon, you should feel the
sideways acceleration in the turn. If you hold it normal to the wings, you'll
feel it as a climb or descent.


Wrong again.
