Default RE: Disorientation in the air?

Great advice to all, one thing seems to be missing on all of this input is simple brain fatigue. For me it’s always taken a while to last 5 minutes at full concentration. heh heh. If I look back at most of my problems it after I got tired. At the field some guys will fly longer than others then they land and take 30 to 45 minutes before even thinking about going back up. Long after engine has cooled. Beginners are so pumped up try to refuel and get right back up and their brain will go into fog land. For me at the first of the year it’s at 6 to 7 minutes then the plane starts to be hard to follow I now just force myself to land because landing is always a rush of energy. Wait until I have got my feeling back and go again but still having problem with just that one more last flight it’ just before body bag my plane heh heh
