“tight turn”?

“Start tunneling”?

“safety pilot”?

My friend, Sky Dancer, you have to admit those phrases/terms are adorable.

Seriously, not to be insulting but they are, as no fighter pilot in the world would ever say those things.

And what is a “safety pilot?”

Did they teach you the anti-G straining maneuver while at that school?

;-)

“Tunneling” that’s when your vision blacks out on the sides of your periphery and all you see is basically a circle of vision straight ahead. The safety pilot you have with you is the backup, he, or she, can tell when you’re getting into some situation you might not have experience with. Again, this is with a company called Air Combat USA where they teach you ACM. Those are the terms they use to teach with before you go up. There’s an hour of ground school on ACM before you fly. This is not, repeat not, a military flight school as some people here think. And yes, they taught the anti-straining maneuver. Go here and learn: http://aircombat.com/
