MOTION SICKNESS

Motion sickness occurs when a person is subjected to certain types of motion or movemen, and there is a discrepancy between visual perception and the body's sense of movement and balance. This mismatch can lead to confusion in the brain's sensory processing, triggering symptoms of motion sickness. These symptoms include nausea, vomiting, dizziness, discomfort, pallor, cold sweats and depression.

RECOVERY TECHNIQUES

In order to recover from motion sickness:

  • Minimize head movement to avoid stimulating the vestibular system.
  • Focus with your eyes on a steady datum outside the cockpit such as the horizon.
  • Introduce fresh air.
  • Smooth, steady aircraft maneuvers can lessen discomfort.
