A very experienced gliding instructor once told me the following - for use on "Trial Lesson / Air Experience" flights where you have already judged / ascertained they are only there for the ride and have no intention of returning:
  • Note sudden quietness / student saying they feel unwell / other indicator of impending "blowing of chunks"
  • Ask them if they are OK - if the answer is "no" / no answer / you think they are lying then
  • Tell them if they put their mouth and nose inside their sweatshirt / shirt / blouse / ... and breath deeply and they will feel OK.
  • Of course this makes them vomit immediately - but it's inside their shirt and you don't need to clean the aeroplane
