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

Because I know how the vestibular system works.

But apparently not how real airplanes work.

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, simulator boy.

If the turn is coordinated, there is no "sideways" force to perceive as
that is the definition of a cooridinated turn.

The only thing the human senses will perceive is an increase in apparent
weight which will depend on the turn rate.
