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

False. The aircraft is being accelerated to one side. If you keep your head
level with the horizon, you'll perceive the turn as a movement to one side.

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

Only if your head is level with the wings, instead of the horizon.

What is the ball in a turn and bank indicator or a turn coordinator?

It is a damped pendulum attached firmly to the aircraft panel and
level with the wings.

Where is the ball in coordinated flight?

It is centered.

What does that mean?

That there is no lateral force with respect to a line perpendicular
to the wings of the aircraft.

What does Mxsmanic's answer mean?

That the babbling, childish, idiot doesn't know high school physics, much
less how airplanes fly and has the unmitigated audacity to try to
tell real pilots how to fly.

What is the orientation of Mxsmanic's head?

Firmly planted up his ass.
