Help,
I have just started a gliding scholarship on saturday flying vikings. Its great i get to launch them clean them and of course fly them. Only one problem. I have problems coping with G. It realy isn't nice especially neagative G. After about 20min i start to feel sick and have to cut the thermaling short. Yesterday we hit a strong up current at 1500 and took it all the way up to the cloud base at 3500!! awsome. I completed my exercise and then we headed back due to my sick stomach!! I wasn't actually sick but feeling sick ruins your experience!! Will i get used to it or is there anything i can do to stop it or get used to it? Anyone had the same problem? Unfortunatly i only go on saturdays so don't glide that regularly!

Any help for a sick puppy:yuk:

G'day,

Check the medical forum, few topics around re: air sickness.

By the way i use to get airsick, and cure was simply to keep flying, eventually it will go away.

Regards

Dont worry too much about it, I had the same feeling when I started my gliding scholarship at the Air Cadet Central Gliding School in Syerston(I hope thats the correct spelling). Mine was really bad, but as suggested above, I stuck at it and I eventually got used to it and really started to enjoy it. Today I've gone as far as getting the F-ATPL. Good luck with it.
