On a recent Delta flight from DTW to SAT, during the majority of the time the plane was slowly corkscrewing, with one oscillation about every two seconds... very steady rhythm and motion. For those of you who sail, it felt quite similar to sailing just slightly off direct downwind. Sort of like the plane was in an endless cycle trying to find coordinated flight. It wasn't bad in the air, but once I got on ground, the aftereffects were noticeable for a few days..every once in a while, when I stood still, the ground felt like it was moving. FWIW, that happens after a long sail, too. Not bothersome, just interesting.
Never felt that motion in the air before, commercial or otherwise. Any ideas what was going on with the plane?
