Inversion

Abrupt change from a climb to straight-and-level flight leads to feeling like the aircraft is inverted or tumbling backwards

Coriolis Effect

Occurs when making abrupt head movements while in a turn

Elevator Illusion

When a sudden updraft causes a pilots eyes to move down while the plane moves up, leading to the illusion that you’ve pitched up which leads to pitching down; vise versa for downdrafts

False Horizon

Generally happens at night, when the pilot orients the aircraft to a false horizon

Leans

When a pilot exits a prolonged turn and feels as though they’re turning in the opposite direction even when it’s straight and level

Autokinesis Illusion

When you stare at a point for too long and it looks like it’s moving

Graveyard Spin

Generally happens in inadvertent IMC, when you have no reference to the horizon and get disoriented, leading to a spiraling dive

Somatogravic Illusion

When accelerations feel like pitching up and decelerations feel like pitching down, doing the opposite can lead to accidents

National Security Areas

Pilots are requested to avoid flying through, but you can fly through

Temporary Flight Restriction

Can fly through with permission

Wilderness Areas

Above 2,000’ AGL, you can fly through

Military Training Areas

Use caution, but you can fly through

Special Flight Area

Need training to enter

FRZ

No general aviation flying, but can fly through with training and permission to enter

Air Defense Identification Zone
