What happens when a pilot's body lies to them in the clouds? In this episode of "Ask the Captain," we dive into one of the most frightening sensations a pilot can experience: spatial disorientation and vertigo. Captain Steve explains what causes this dangerous feeling, why instruments are a pilot's best friend, and the intense training that helps them overcome it. From in-flight medical emergencies to pilot incapacitation, Captain Steve draws on his 40 years of experience in both military and civilian cockpits to answer your most pressing questions. Learn about the strict rules for flying near thunderstorms, what happens when an aircraft is struck by lightning, and the procedure for landing at a military base in an emergency. We also cover the sensitive topic of pilot mental health, the real story behind emergency "squawk" codes, and the single most valuable piece of advice Captain Steve has ever received in his aviation career. And finally, has he ever seen something in the sky he couldn't explain? Watch to find out. Got a question for a future episode?
