Pilot decides to go missed and pushes the throttle up to climb, however a enhanced sensation of pitch up is experienced due to horizontal acceleration.

It was pretty nice for a trainer/rental. There were heavy showers in the vicinity around the time of the crash. Was not really a good day to fly. Maybe OK with an experienced instructor on board. Will be interested to know what the pilot has to say as long as he or she pulls through.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17650950002527705836noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6060827553081940333.post-79687084065959505232021-12-23T13:55:29.984-05:002021-12-23T13:55:29.984-05:00When a C337 Skymaster crashed into a home's ro...When a C337 Skymaster crashed into a home's roof near Orlando, the report after seeing the rear propeller facing outward from the attic was titled: "Airplane crashes tail first into home"<br /><br />It's always just a matter of perspective!<br />Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6060827553081940333.post-57957353455850093972021-12-23T12:21:36.052-05:002021-12-23T12:21:36.052-05:00Or maybe if not true spatial disorientation (e.g.,...Or maybe if not true spatial disorientation (e.g., with vertigo, loss of control) at least loss of positional awareness with respect to altitude, while peering out the windshield looking for an airport that wouldn't be seen anyway if it was already down to 3/4 mile visibility and 200 ft overcast.
