Back to your original question ... I will supply an answer of what
"is" ... I was (as you asked) taught during my ab initio flight
training to keep my head and body in a straight line, and not bend at
the neck, neither away from nor toward the direction of the turn.
Swiveling the head and/or moving the eyes to watch the patch of sky
you were heading toward is taught (of course). Swiveling the head in
the other direction is also taught to look for possibly converging A/
C. However, one is taught to NOT bend your neck during turns. The
argument is made that doing this makes you more prone to
disorientation, sloppy flying, and a phenomenon called "the leans"
after prolonged turns or during instrument flying.


And is this argument supported by scientific data, or simply folk
wisdom? Why would it be the recommended behavior for identical turns
on a motorcycle, but not for flying? Who's right, and why?


I'm right because I do both well.

When I can't sleep, I just think about beating the ****

Why dream? I do it daily.


He doesn't whine about it in public, but I know he's slobbering all
over his keyboard every time he reads one of my posts.

District attorneys do. You've established premeditation, for one
thing. It's a really bad idea to threaten people in writing,
especially in written forms that will be archived indefinitely and
exposed to public view. It can work against you in ways you may not
at all suspect.


Oow! Kookthrets!


God I luv usenet.

Bull ****.

If you ever disappear the list of documented suspects will be so long,
I seriously doubt the authorities would even begin to look. You are
clearly the poster child for justifiable homicide.



No no!
You'll not hurt my toy!

He's the only k00k I got at the moment!

Actually, Anthony, ALL of your questions remain unanswered because
you refuse to accept the answers when given.


Not true. I do get useful answers occasionally.


Nope, you never get a useful answert because for it to be useful you'd
have to use it, and you never ever will.



Ever.

Because I took training in motorcycle riding, and I've driven
motorcycles in
the past. Bicycles work on the same principle. And so, apparently,
do aircraft.


Wow, you have actually been trained to ride a motorcycle. Was it the
same school that teaches other monkeys to do so too.


Bwawhahwhahhwhahwhhahwhahhw!
