Does motion sickness fade away with experience?

As a CFI and an ex-Navy guy, I can confidently tell you that motion
sickness almost always dimishes (or disappears entirely) with continued exposure
to the conditions that initially trigger it.

How many of you
seasoned pilots had/still have serious issues with recurrent nausea?


The element of control is a huge issue with motion sickness. If you are the
pilot and you are manuvering the plane, your brain knows what is going to
happen, so motion sickness is much less likely to happen. Several experienced
pilots have told me that the only time they feel motion sickness is when they
are a passenger.
