Wife and I expanding horizons but when its a bit bumpy she soon feels very rough and travel sick as per visit to Bembridge UK Sunday. I cant understand that its much different to a car on a bumpy track which she is fine with. Seems a shame. Has anyone found a remedy?

I used to get sick in my glider circling in thermals. Tell her to concentrate on the horizon. NASA found that
if there was no horizon and a bumpy ride most people got sick. Project a true horizon on the wall
of the test cell teh astronauts were in was the cure.

If I ever have a passenger looking a bit woozy I hand them the controls
and let fly. So far it works every time.
Just like in a car where the driver never gets sick.
Cheers

Hi! Bill
On the contrary, whenever I've had to deal with a "pewker" it was brought on
by giving them the stick !
I had a Marine on board once ...."just a sandwich short of a picnic type"
....I told him if he felt sick to "fire it down on the floor since I didn't
have a sick bag" ....... what's the best way to get a "pewk spray" ? ...get
a Marine to hold his hand over his mouth !!!!
Graeme.......suggest that she has a normal breakfast and relaxes. The worst
thing is an empty stomach.
Regards
Bob Harrison G-PTAG

Graeme,
You have two options. At your local vitamin store, pick up some ground
ginger with peppermint and have her take a couple 30 minutes before
flight. Orrrrr, there's this neat device that my wife uses called a
Travel Mate. wear it like a wrist watch. Look here
http://www.healthdevice.com She swears by it...

My wife has the same problem, Boots Travel Calm does the trick take 1 or
1/2 of one 1/2 an hour before you start the flight.
Best of luck. Richard

Sorry, looks like that's a dead link. I just Googled "travel mate
motion sickness band" and got several sites, so you should have no
problem locating one.

Graeme, I would strongly recommend giving her Stugeron,
which you can buy over the counter. It was the favourite
remedy of my medical sailing colleagues. You can also
minimise the stimulus by flying early or late in the day
and flying above the thermal layer when poss and avoiding
flying much below 3000 ft if there is strong wind.

Hi Graeme,
There is a gizmo you can buy at Sportys Pilot Shop and other places.
It looks like a watch and straps to the wrist.It gives electric shocks, the intensity of which is adjustable.
It sounds like a gimmick, and I don't understand the science behind it, but it really works.
There are also pills available to treat motion sickness, available at any pharmacy.
Cheers,
Karl

Hi, Graeme
It may not be an option in the UK, but in the US I always try and fly above the clouds, assuming its not totally overcast. The air above the dew point tends to be smoother.

You may also try to let your wife obtain her PPL. That really solves the
problem.

I don't think that will solve the problem at all: She will then want to fly my beautiful Europa!! Stick to flying above cloud in smooth air.
