Hi franzl,

Thanks. Very interesting comments regarding pilot sensed g's.
How often does an air transport pilot push (not relax) on the SS and feel less than 1 G?
- Never in the simulator, where he did his approach to the stall training.

In the simulator, apart from mild turbulence, there is no sensation of vertical acceleration (motion legs only have about 3 m of travel). I have witnessed over controlling during TCAS events due to the lack of the sensation of delta g. The "sinking feeling" on entry to the stall would be something the pilot had never experienced on type or in the sim.
