Two things;
a) look out of the cockpit not at the controls as that helps your brain to orientate.
b) don't eat or drink anything for about 2 hours before the flight. Especially avoid fizzy drinks or sweet things

A) Make sure you're fully hydrated before you fly - but make sure you have a pee before getting in your parachute.

B) Don't fly on an empty stomach. Make sure you've had a decent breakfast a couple of hours beforehand.

C) Follow through on the controls, and keep your head outside the cockpit. If G really is a problem just let the pilot know - standard aeros for cadets should be flown pulling no more than 3G - let the pilot know before you take off. He may well let you take control - often that input of having to concentrate can clear your head.

D) Try not to think about how you felt last time.

E) Remember to tense you muscles when pulling even 3G - that is quite a lot for someone who is not regularly experiencing G.


Remember, above all its your 20-25 minutes. Do what you want to do. My suggestion in your case may be to spend the first 10-15 minutes letting you fly the aircraft - the climb to height (normally about 6 or 7 minutes) and then doing some simple handling (turns, maybe some gentle wingovers, getting progressively steeper) for 5 minutes or so, then try 5 minutes of aeros (15-20mins), before the transit back to the airfield (assuming in most cases that it takes about 5 minutes).


Above all - enjoy it...

PS- where are you flying? Colerne?

Ok. You just need a pilot you can avoid -ve G!

It should be (well is) entirely possible to fly aeros in a Tutor and have very little if any G less than 1 recorded, although obviously turbulence can cause little bursts of G somewhere between 0 and 1G (the kind of feeling you get when going over a humped back bridge). Often this occurs when returning to the airfield or whilst in the circuit.

Smoothly flown aeros (smooth onset and relaxation of G) shouldn't present too much of a problem.

PS. You're flying to Old Warden. I'm very jealous!

if you must eat before a flight - eat bananas - they tast the same coming up as they do going down

If it is a nose barf do they smell the same too.

I guess it depends upon the person, I know me personally my stomach is much more finnicky if I eat.  I don't get airsick, but it holds true for other things as well.
