rrr,
IMHO one does not get a somatogravic illusion simply by pitching up.There is no change in the total acceleration perceived, the longitudinal acceleration is equivalent to the change in attitude and flight path. A pendulum suspended from the cockpit ceiling would remain in the same position in the airplane. AIUI, somatogravic illusion is caused by a change in the total acceleration, e.g. by adding thrust or applying brakes.
