It's also important to realise that the eye, muscular system have some ability to compensate for vibration and the human mind has an ability to interpret movement. The subjective impression of shaking may be much less for a human being in the actual plane than for a human watching a recording made with a camera on that plane.

So, it would be nice if this were a customisable feature.

I think that any shaking in a aircraft you are keenly aware of just because you are off the ground and out of your environment. In my case being shaken always triggered fear and rapid mental assessment.

Lacking both the intellegence and imagination required to experience that emotion, I must conceed that it was often a topic discussed by my instructors (many of whom went on to find ground based employment) and passengers (many of whom went on to get their pilots licences - so that they would NEVER have to fly with me again!!!) at the end of each flight. I just put it down as the 'Exhilaration of Flight'!

Just joking of course Then again two of my brothers and at least one of my friends did go on to get their pilots licences after flying with me just once ..... Hmmm!

Ha ha, you must be fun up there...fear was too strong of a word to use, maybe "concerned" would fit better in my case. After all its a long way down, fast

A slow flying plane shake more than high speed flying plane. Also the plane typ is a factor (heavy or light) e.t.c.

Video was great!!
