Hi There Bruno.
You will find that when you start flying, you PROBABLY wont have any problems with air sickness.
Make sure your instructor knows your problem , and he/she can ensure that
you are comfortable, by restricting angle of bank, descent rates, etc etc.

Early lessons are not very long, that will help you become used to the motion of the aircraft.
Should you have problems, consult your doctor, he/she will be able to provide a medication to assist, for DUAL flights only) to help you de-senstise.

In my exerience, most students I have had, have had no problems after a few lessons, but it is important to have a caring instructor.
It is also important not to worry about 'air sickness'when you are flying, concentrate on
the lesson.

Good luck and enjoy the flying!
