No, that would be gravity. Inertia is static, Gravity is dynamic.

Gravity is the attractive force between two masses:

F = (G * M1 * M2) / ( d ^2)

Which masses were involved in this pilot losing conciousness?

"No, that would be gravity. Inertia is static, Gravity is dynamic."

You misunderstand inertia. Inertia is when a mass resists changes in velocity (speed and direction). That doesn't mean it is only a static property, nor does it mean that it doesn't come into play in a dynamic system.
