My oh S*#! moment during landing. Then the traning kicked in.

I took the plane out for solo manuvers and everything was going fine until the 2nd of 5 landings. I should preface this that im a certified scuba diver and used to pressure changes.

As I turned final I popped my ears as I have done 100 times before during decents. this time when I did it was double vision and all orientation was lost.

I decied I couldnt land due to speed, alt, ect and the only instinct was to power up and go around, even though I was 15ft off the ground. Thanks to my CFI for doing that numours times to me

Good call. Read about your story in the forum. That was bizarre! And educating. What kind of cockpit camera was this?
