  • Flying at night, into IMC, over a lake, and in an airplane that you are not very familiar with? This sounds like a recipe for disaster. Let’s dig into what happened with this common type of accident and what we can do instead to be safer real world pilots.

    I'm a high-time pilot, Comm/Multi/CFI, etc.. Excellent lesson. I actually experienced a pretty severe Vertigo situation hauling passengers from point A to B climbing after departure to VFR On Top. Right after pulling up and trimming for a 500'/min climb, I noticed a large auto accident situation on the freeway below me. I looked down to the left, and within seconds entered a complete overcast cloud layer. I 'snapped' my head back to the instrument panel but my eyeballs "un-caged" - I had realized I was in a vertigo state (how to recover?).... I knew about the ear fluid flying circles in my head, so I snapped my chin down to my chest abruptly and back up. The vertigo immediately stopped. In addition, I relaxed all flight control pressure on the stable climbing aircraft and quickly recovered normal flying capability. Yes; I stopped that circus event in my ear canals. We finally broke out on top around 7,500. I learned my lesson about taking my eyes off the instrument panel while climbing into IMC. I now call it the 'Olson shock treatment'.

      I have a better theory for why his transmissions weren't received, he was probably too low for his radio signals to hit the tower.

    I need to thank Mr. Jason again for taking time out of his day to fly with me. 👍 It was a very fun flight and i learned quite a lot about spatial disorientation!

    I learned the hard way in flight sims i fly into the cloud at night and end up inverted dodging missiles in dcs and then i thought the pfd said i was climbing when i was in an inverted descent. I ended up crashing into the ocean. From then on i love my beloved attitude indicator. I practiced and died many more times crashing into mountains while flying in clouds. Fast forward one to two years and now im a real life instrument pilot but i highly recommend computer sims they simulate ifr very well since you cant rely on your somotogravic vestibular system at all. Instead in computer flight sims all you get is visual and instruments. Now im working on commercial, soon cfi, and cfii and i absolutely will be teaching more instrument students :) the treacheries of spatial disorientation.

    Great training! Even the most experienced and capable pilots can get sucked in to spatial disorientation.
    Should be practiced often with an instructor.

    Very good job Jason. I have had instructors teach it both ways. The eyes closed I think helps you realize how quick and simply the disorientation can sneak up on you. Makes you think about the effects more. Thanks

    I watched one of your Spatial Disorientation videos a few years ago, following your first example here almost to a T, just involving Unusual Attitudes with it. Now, I'g going to start adding this to my student's training. Very Valuable.

    I have departed KBKL many times and they always turn you out over lake Erie due to KCLE traffic which is usually non existent at night. At night on a moonless night it a dark abyss.

    You are spot on how spacial disorientation can sneak up on you. Blue sky on top of blue water and throw in a little bit of mist and low light due to a high overcast layer.. Your eyes rapidly scanning up/down/left/right to try and pick out some defining characteristic but it's all just a mush of blue/gray. Had this experience flying over the Puget Sound en route to Boeing Field last year. Definitely got my attention. I feel one of the most important things to do right away is pull the throttle back.

    I like to imagine I’m flying a 172 remotely, I can hear the air and engine, I can see the instruments and I can feel the responsiveness of the flight controls.
    But I’m in a closed box I can’t see out of and the box is moving and accelerating in random directions unrelated to the remote 172 I’m flying.
    Helps me trick my brain and instincts to treat the movment my body is feeling as an annoying distraction to be ignored because it’s unrelated to the stable flight of the remote plane I’m actually flying and concerned about.

    He was probably thinking he was pushing PTT button but was disengaging his autopilot each time instead, reason he was talking out loud without tx. Some of the buttons on the yokes are in different spots and easy to do depending on the aircraft you are in.

    This is sheer negligence by this pilot not being familiar with the new aircraft. There is no excuse for this, but it happens many times.
