ayavner Posted September 23, 2013 Share Posted September 23, 2013 on the way back to Bankstown yesterday, what a beautiful day it was! I was treated to the sight of a 747 flying directly perpendicular to my path on the inbound LOE, but several thousand feet higher. I could tell it was blue anyway, Thai Air I think. But when I saw it, I whipped my head up to take a look then quickly back down and had a little reminder of what they say about sudden head movements... felt very swimmy for a few seconds, not enough to get disoriented, but certainly enough to remind me that it is a possibility. Something to keep in mind on these beautiful days where gorgeous scenery and interesting things are all around you... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
facthunter Posted September 23, 2013 Share Posted September 23, 2013 Be worse if you were IFR. You may also have some inner ear problem. Head cold? Low blood pressure, Hadn't eaten, ( low blood sugar) or a bit dehydrated. All human factors matters. Nev 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ayavner Posted September 23, 2013 Author Share Posted September 23, 2013 true, that would be bad. I may have had some residual effect from a hayfever episode a week or so back, felt fine on the day but I guess you never know all the little places it lurks. Anyway, crisis averted and I definitely won't be whipping my head around to look at stuff anymore. I've always been a hands-on learner I guess. There's knowing, and there's KNOWING.
