100000% this. I hate aileron rolls.
This was basically me, minus them trying to track me down. I basically flew straight and level at 150 KIAS the entire time and enjoyed the view over the coast. They were a little puzzled when my time was 1.8Bad technique for your aero solo- setting max endurance in the MOA until you hit xx fuel, staying up for so long that your line in TIMS schedule executor changes color and the tower ODO calls the squadron ODO because you're overdue on their tracking too.
Nicely done! More turbine PIC time for you!This was basically me, minus them trying to track me down. I basically flew straight and level at 150 KIAS the entire time and enjoyed the view over the coast. They were a little puzzled when my time was 1.8
I mean, bad bad bad.
The guy I was talking about did it in c2013.
I'm sure he was just making sure it really was the MAX endurance, not just some bad gouge...
For science
Thank you all for the congratulations! I'll keep your advice in mind as I continue on with naval flight training, I'm chomping at the bit for Advanced.
I'm part of the 42% !
P-8s are jets too.
So much this. It took me a while to figure out the "how" on this, but I also found that once I figured out how to keep my point of reference through the roll, it helped me immensely, especially when studs were doing the rolling. It's kind of like how a figure skater does spins, their head isn't spinning like their body is, it's finding the same reference point as the body turns.
I would do this for the roll, I think it probably looked like I was rotating my head the opposite direction of the roll until coming through 180 degrees-ish of the roll.
Anywho, it helped me. But yeah, do them last.
Don't threaten me with a good time.
For what it's worth, I felt passive plenty of times in the T-6 (and puked a bunch as an NFO in primary), but haven't had the same issues in the T-45.
I've have heard that the T6 just has a way of making people sick compared to most other aircraft in the Navy.
I guess my point is I'm not really after any certain community anymore. I'm just gunna give it my best with everything and I'm cool with whatever happens.
I never got to fly the T-6, but it's like any other prop plane, it has P-factor and torque to deal with. Add to the fact that it has a 1,000+ HP engine, and that torque (and P-factor) is even more pronounced. The T-34 excelled at making people sick when those same people went on to the T-45 and did great. There's a surprising amount of yaw that happens with Tq, and I'm sure that adds up for folks. In the T-34's case, add to that the lack of O2 during most normal flights and things get sporty.
I was always amazed to watch how much the nose moved when sitting in the back of a -60. You don't see it up front, but it's still there. While slightly different, fixed-wing turbo props still oscillate with Tq changes. I remember @webmaster talking about his Fam partner getting sick in the back of a T-44.
Ask to fly what you want to fly, but understand that experiences in the T-6 may be worse compared to what the future brings.

And you got P-8s.
I had some air sick problems in the T-2, which NFOs started in back in the day. What seemed to bother me was the lack of noise to relate to the aircraft performance. I was used to recips with constant speed props. T-2 had virtually no vibration and pretty constant noise. The gauge needles were shooting up and down winding up and unwinding and the Gs I couldn't associate with any other senses. For some reason it really bothered me. Didn't help most of it was demo, just sitting there. Was better by time I got to A-4s and combat maneuvering. You were heads out and had to contribute.
