Nausea and 0.0G

In learning to fly one is subjected to "unusual attitudes and recovery". "Under the hood", with your eyes closed, they put the plane into some attitude, generally on the verge of a stall, then turn it over to you. You have to check the instruments, and return the plane to straight, level and a predetermined course.

One learns fast that the plane will fly itself better than you can, but sometimes the intructor will lean on a control, so you can't just leave it all alone.

And, I always got sick on the first maneuver. We always terminated the session just before I fouled the plane, but it was no fun.

HOWEVER, they make some great drugs for nausea now, developed for cancer patients undergoing chemotherapy.

As much as I hate nausea, were I you I think I'd get something to help and go for it. What the hell.
