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

You aren't attached to either, and you have freedom of movement that allows
you to align your head with the aircraft or with the horizon, in anything less
than a 90-degree bank.


If you aren't attached to the aircraft while in flight, you have bigger
issues than head tilt.

The only force in coordinated flight is straight down, where "down"
is perpendicular to the wings.


Then if your head is not perpendicular to the wings, you will perceive a force
that is not straight down. QED.


Nonsense.

This is no different than standing still on the ground and tilting your
head.

When I do that I feel nothing other than I'm tilting my head.

Down is still down.

Your brain wiring may, however, be different than the rest of the
human race.
