Re- Feeling sick

One tip my instructor gave me that did work, was to fix your gaze at one instrument for a few seconds when feeling unwell. Amazingly it did work, and I have never been troubled with it since.Fortunately he told me this after my third or fourth flight into my PPL, and as I completed a type rating last year, I'm just glad I found something that worked.
The previous threads saying don't skip lunch is a good tip too. Just try going on a car ferry in a gale with an empty stomach!!
And the last place you want a technocolour yawn is in a hot sweaty cockpit with only two seats..!
