Summary
157 Max talks about 5 ways
somatogravic illusion continues to kill pilots, including private,
instrument, commercial airline, and even glider pilots. It’s
particular dangerous when taking off at night over a poorly lit
surface, when doing instrument takeoffs in zero zero visibility and
when an instrument begins the missed approach. There’s evidence it
also affects glider pilots after cable breaks.
