What are the inflight illusions

ICEFLAGS

Inversion- sudden changes in attitude creates illusion of backwards tumbling

Coriolis- Rapid head movement causes illusion of accelerating

Elevator- Updraft makes aircraft feel likes it’s in climbing attitude, pilot make react by pushing nose down causing a dive

False Horizon- sloped cloud or occluded horizon makes pilot align of off false horizon

Leans- Sudden recover from turns makes you fell like your Turing in the opposite sure

Autokinesis- stationary lights at night appear mobile

Somatogravic- Rapid acceleration causes illusion of nose up attitude rapid deceleration causes feeling of nose down attitude.

Runway illusion

Wide runways makes aircraft seem lower

Thinner runways make aircraft seem highe

Downslopes runways make aircraft seem lower

Upslopes runways make aircraft seem higher
