A number of aircraft accidents are caused by pilot disorientation regarding the horizon even though they have artificial horizon instruments to tell them their exact orientation. Pilots lose track of up and down and they can even fly upside down through a trick of the inner ear.
I always wondered why this is possible because if you are flying sideways or upside down, should not various loose objects in the cockpit fall and even ending up on the ceiling?
My solution to this is fluffy fur balls in every aircraft cockpit to tell the pilot were they are in addition to the information he gets from his artificial horizon instruments.
Utopia, you are standing in it!
