I was thinking about my last post whilst working in my garage. Quite why I don't know but something gnawing on the back of my mind. Possibly simulator training is responsible for somotogravic illiusions in the real thing? Being fixed to ground there is only so much movement you can experience. Worse, you may well try to recreate the g loading you generate in the sim. during a go-around in the real thing. So if you have not had the (mis)fortune to experience a recent go-around, your most recent experiences will have been in the sims. As we all know the sim. experience will leave you at ground level and unfortunately some real ones have ended up there as well.
