According to an Australian study, almost every pilot will at some point experience Spacial Disorientation (SD) , an out-of-body like experience which can give the pilot the impression of sitting on the wing looking at themselves flying the aircraft, a feeling that the plane was falling when it was merely slowing down, a false sensation of the aircraft rolling or the illusion that the plane was flying straight ahead when it was actually turning. Besides just being creepy as fuck, SD is apparently the cause of one-fourth of all fatal air crashes:

Every pilot will at some stage lose all sense of direction, height and speed, drawing attention to spatial disorientation (SD) – one of the most common factors in plane crashes, according to a report by the Australian Transport Safety Bureau. Aviation medicine specialist Dr David Newman said 90 to 100 per cent of pilots experienced SD, which have been linked to between 15 and 26 per cent of fatal crashes worldwide. “If a pilot flies long enough as a career or even a hobby there is almost no chance that he or she will escape experiencing at least one episode of SD.”

Yeah, no.
