Vehicle motion cues?

[Dugaru]

I wonder if those weird floaty dot “vehicle motion cues” featured on current iPhones might be a useful addition to EFISs. I’m not immune to getting a little green around the gills when flying instruments, although interestingly never in actual, just in training (so far).

Perhaps they would just make the (already info-packed) displays look too busy.

An interesting idea which I had not considered. I find the motion cues help with motion sickness in cars.

I thought about it too but my Dynon PFD synthetic vision is already one giant motion cue. G5 is similar. It might help with the other, more static screens. I have not tried enabling it on the ipad yet

Try reducing the cockpit temp and increasing the airflow when you first start feeling that way. The warmer the temp and the less air movement within the cockpit, the faster the motion problems will get you.

This makes sense. My “episodes” when training have all been in the summer.

Dugaru,
Tip: make sure you have eaten. This is counterintuitive, yet important.
I'm not talking a pop-tart then go.
Eat a meal and you will find your stomach is more comfortable.

All this “keep me from barfing” advice is much appreciated!!!!

If youre getting queasy in training but not in actual, it's likely temperature related as cvairworks said, but it could also be a result of they real world sneaking in via your peripheral vision and being at odds with the lies that your inner ear is telling you. Is your view limiting device actually 100% view limiting? a lot of them aren't

Good point. I made one customized to my panel by duct-taping some safety glasses appropriately. It’s quite effective but I’ll see if I can block the view a bit more. Thanks!

Unless you are getting physically ill, I would suggest you just keep at it, and with practice your brain will learn to ignore those little distractions way off to the side.

We were led to believe that balance comes from opur inner ear, but really they need visual cues to work well. My guess is that the lack of visual cues is creating classic motion sickness. Know several people that get car sick when reading a book (eyes not observing movement). No real help in dealing with that, but can assure you that over time, you will adapt and it will go away. Your brain learns to compensate over time. When my son start flying he had light motion sickness. He asked my to do a bunch of yank and bank to help him adapt. He didn’t enjoy it, but was cured in a couple flights.
