What corrective measure can be used if you recognize that you have spatial disorientation?

When a pilot experiences spatial disorientation, it indicates a loss of situational awareness concerning their position in space, often due to conflicting sensory inputs. The recommended corrective measure in such a situation is to announce the disorientation and transfer the controls to another qualified pilot. This action is crucial because it ensures that the aircraft can be safely managed by someone who is not experiencing disorientation. By communicating the situation, the pilot who is taking over can focus on the aircraft's attitude and performance without having to rely on possibly compromised sensory information from the disoriented pilot.

This approach allows for the other pilot to make necessary corrections based on the instruments and visual references, promoting safety and reducing the risk of an accident that can arise from spatial disorientation.

Other options, while they may appear plausible, do not effectively address the immediate need for safety when experiencing spatial disorientation. Simply leveling off and flying straight does not resolve the underlying disorientation. Increasing throttle and climbing might lead to an even more precarious situation if the pilot cannot maintain situational awareness. Utilizing visual references on the ground may also be ineffective, as those references can be misleading when one is disoriented, potentially leading to further complications.
