Hi HazelNuts39

Quote..."The reduction of acceleration tilts the perceived attitude forward by the same amount as the real pitch change is nose-up. In other words, the somatogravic illusion is then that the pitch attitude HAS NOT CHANGED. A similar argument applies in reverse when the nose is pitched down."

caps mine......

Certainly that works as an explanation for a pilot to continue his NU input even though he is climbing, and decelerating? pilot has also foregone scan and has lost his binky, the Flight Director, so.......

Too easy?
