Ear-popping and air sickness
I've noticed that during some flights I've been on I've had some quite intense ear-popping experiences. Just wondering if pilots get used to this or have any special techniques to overcome it. Also do any professional pilots remember getting airsick at all during training. I've had two trial flights and was sick on one of them (although I enjoyed them both thoroughly). I remember reading somewhere once that not having an empty stomach can help alleviate air sickness in small aircraft.
