- Definição2
- A visual illusion that occurs when flying between two cloud layers that are not horizontal when there is no natural horizon. In this case, there is a tendency to use a cloud base or the cloud top as the horizon anf fly with a corresponding bank. Other conditions conducive to causing this illusion are sloping cloud formations, an obscured horizon, a dark spread with ground lights and starts, and certain geometric patterns of ground lights.
