I am just finishing my private and have started to encounter some air sickness. It never bothered me much before now but lately it seems anytime I go up I start feeling a little green. Is this normal and is there anything I can do about it? This is something I love to do and I hate that it is starting to bother me.

yeah no biggie.
I was halfway through my instrument when I got dizzy one night. We landed, parked, I hopped out and blew my cookies all over the tarmac. Unfortunatlely, because I work at the flight school, I still haven't heard the end of it.

Talking about tarmac. Is it legal to pour fuel on the tarmac after you take it out of each tank to check for water?

I don't know about anywhere else, but not in Florida. It's as much as a $50,000.00 fine.

about pouring fuel onto the tarmac, no it is not legal anywhere, although there is nothing in the fars about it, if the epa happens to be at the airport and witnesses it, you will automatically be fined, in the thousands of dollars. In response to where to put the fuel, you can get fuel strainers that have filters on them, once you have confirmed that there is nothing in the gas, you pour it back into the tanks, and the filter will keep anything from getting into the fuel.

I've also noticed that some places are starting to have waste buckets to put sumped fuel in after testing it.

Some FBO's will have a fuel container, where you can dump the sumpted fuel....
dumped, sumpted

Back on topic.........
For most people the more they fly the more hardend they become against motion sickness. I am prone to it, especially when flying under the hood. Best advice I can give is to keep the cockpit cool, maybe have a small bottle of drinking water available. If the problem endures then I would recommend that you look into a Relief Band. This device worked well for me. It did not cure the problem for me altogether, but at least I have been able to function without too much trouble when under the hood while using this device.

Dude, get The Relief Band. I started getting sick during my IR training and once I got the band, I have yet to get sick. The minute I start feeling weezy, I flip it on and like magic it goes away. I have used it for unusual attitudes, turbulence, etc... and nothing has been tissed since.

Heck no it is not legal. MY fbo has you check the fuel with a GATS jar. You collect the fuel and as long as it looks good, you just place it right back in the tank by using the strainer side. That will catch any oarticles in the fuel.

I think it violates EPA regs but I'm not sure. I'm not sure just how you could do it so that it would be environmentally sound, though. You gotta dump that gas somewhere. You don't want to put a lot of gas into a container because that's a big fire hazard. So how would you do it?

There was a waste bin right next to the aircraft but the pilot poured the fuel on the tarmac anyways. When he poured it, the fuel evaporated instantly. So I guess there is nothing wrong with that.

EPA.....
Screw the EPA....you know what I do with the oil out of my car...I dump it on my weeds...makes them turn brown and fall over. That's what old oil should be used for. Gas...you toss it out on the ramp and see if any water bubbles stay after the gas evaporates. That's the only way to tell if there's water in your gas.
