Dizziness disorientation

Hi folks,

Does anyone have any experience of the following or know about it.

I recently got a ppl licence and generally are fine doing all the
flying type tasks required to safely take off fly and land.
One thing that seems to get me every time is if I am for example
flying straight and level at 2 or 3 thousand feet (height just as an
arbitory figure) and I encounter a crosswind the aircraft slowly but
surely starts to yaw as the wind hits the tail fin. this bit I
understand but the bit I don't is when this situation happens
I feel dizzy and disorientated for a few moments as the view from the
window in VFR starts to rotate.
I can reduce this by a bit of rudder to stop the rotation and keep the
ball in the centre.

Is this normal or should I not be flying?

thanks

Do you have allergies or congestion? You may have inner ear problems
that were not detected during your physical.

Your grasp of fundamentals needs some review. There should be no
"Crosswind" once aloft. The airplane moves with the air mass and it's
highly unlikely the "wind hitting the tail fin" is different from the
wind hitting everything else. The "tail fin" is the vertical
stabilizer and attached is (usually) a rudder that counteracts adverse
yaw (unless you are blessed to fly a V tail, in which case elevator
and rudder are combined to form ruddervators).

While there is wind shear (in which the airplane acts as if it is
being struck by wind from behind or in front) this does not typically
act in such a localized manner. I suspect the yaw is the result of
uncoordinated flight -- banking or correcting wing drops in bumps
while not also applying the correct yaw counteracting rudder input.

You should get checked out for inner ear issues -- and before your
next flight.

I wonder if Ken taught him to fly.

I wonder if Mxsmanic has ever experienced vertigo while flying his Sim?

Maybe he uses rubber vomit!

LOL.

Nah. You press ctrl-alt-shift-7-u-v and out comes a splash all over
the "controls" and "windshield".

I doubt MX ever has, since he's flying MSFS on a regular computer monitor.

On our Kiwi, however, with that 104" projection screen "world", it's pretty
common for people to feel "tilted" with near-vertigo. We had one little kid
get motion sick, watching her dad yank and crank.
