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? I don't understand what you mean by "I encounter a crosswind the aircraft slowly but surely starts to yaw as the wind hits the tail fin". I've never experienced this in my years of flying. I've encountered turb that has causing yawing that is irritating but never have I seen a cross wind induce yaw in flight. It sounds as if your aircraft is tethered to the ground. -Robert |
