The Somatogravic Illusions

Neither the incident pilots nor the accident investigators appear to have heard of the somatogravic illusions (and specifically the "pitch-up illusion").

It would seem to me (on a quick read-through) that that was the problem causing the go-round gyrations.

Methink the pitch-up illusion needs more publicity than it got courtesy of the 23 Aug 00 GF072 GulfAir A320 accident in Bahrein
