  14. Alcohol before flying, a ticking time-bomb... Simply relying on hangover effects like a headache is not sufficient to determine if you should not be flying.

  15. So how do you know when you’re still suffering from the side effects of alcohol? Here’s some home tests that may help! • The Shappell Maneuver • DUI Test

  17. SENSORY MISMATCH SENSORY MATCH Same Direction as Head Tilt Visual Field Rotation Head Tilt Visual Field Rotation Opposite to Head Tilt Head Tilt SENSORY THEORY OF MOTION SICKNESS

  18. SIMULATOR SICKNESS • Some pilots who rarely become ill in actual flight, report that they become motion sick in the simulator. • Presumably, even though the visual cues accurately represent those which are normally encountered in actual flight, the vestibular cues are absent, hence a visual-vestibular mismatch exists. • As expected, pilots with the most experience in the cockpit have the most difficulty with simulator sickness. For experienced pilots the absence of vestibular cues represents a greater mismatch compared with previous experience than would be the case for novice pilots. • Curiously, experience in either the simulator or actual flight reduces sickness for that particular condition, but increases the probability of discomfort in the other condition. It appears that experience with a particular pattern of interaction provides a baseline of normal "expectations" so that any deviation then becomes a mismatch.
