So if you are spun around in a chair you won't be equally disoriented?


The disorientation is less important if you are sitting.


If what you are sitting in isn't mobile.

Even if it is. You don't have to keep your balance while sitting.

1) You can become dizzy enough to fall off a chair.

2) Keeping your balance within a chair has nothing to do with the
disorientation of flying.

Don't worry about it. It's not a factor in flying a desk.

Not if you're strapped in.

It makes it easier to concentrate on instruments.

Strap yourself into your sim chair and spin yourself around for several
minutes, until you are dizzy enough that you would fall off if you were not
strapped in. Then begin an approach into an airport that you are unfamiliar
with and let us know how you make out.

I'm sure you will tell us that you can land without any issue. But I suspect
it will be without ever actually trying.
