Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Different approaches to the problem of training pilots to cope with spatial disorientation are analyzed, with emphasis on those approaches using hardware (antivertigo trainers) specifically designed for such training. Antivertigo trainers are categorized according to function; i.e., as (1) demonstrators of vestibular and visual illusions, (2) demonstrators of spatial disorientation, or (3) trainers to eliminate, through practice, erroneous responses to disorienting stimuli. Simple control-system diagrams of various antivertigo trainers illustrate the critical concepts of identification of the controlled parameter, degree of motion-control-loop closure, cross-sensory-modality coupling, and relevance of vestibular stimulation to the control problem. Opinions regarding probabilities of transfer of the various types of ground-based training to inflight situations are discussed.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This review concerns the problem of spatial disorientation or confusion in relation to motions encountered during flight and how those motions, or the lack of perception of motion, affect a pilots sense of true position in the air. The problem is an important one with the hope that physical training systems and supplemental forms of information will help avoid the loss of life and equipment due to disorientation.

This book was released on 2003 with total page 5 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Spatial disorientation (SD) is a long recognized problem in aviation environment. During flight the spatial disorientation may appear as a result of inadequate perception of the position or attitude of an aircraft in comparison of the co-ordinate system constituted by the Earth surface. It is extremely difficult to say how often spatial disorientation became the reason of military aircraft accidents 6 but in Poland it is calculated at around 8%. There is no ultimate cure for spatial disorientation; the two ways considered most important are pilot training and extensive research leading to better understanding of nature of SD which is little known despite of about forty years of worldwide awareness about this problem. Probably every air force in the world has its own methods for SD prevention and training programme. We think that most comprehensive approach to this question is introduction of wide training program using all available equipment and conducting of further experiments increasing our knowledge about this very complex problem. In 1998 PAFIAM went out with initiative of conducting the initial course and training counteracting spatial disorientation with polish military pilots using three simulators. The full mission flight simulator "Japetus" is the first element of this system of devices to work on spatial disorientation prevention. Another device is lately obtained Gyro - IPT spatial disorientation simulator, which's main purpose in contrary to "Japetus" is use in spatial orientation demonstration and training. Both previously mentioned devices are lacking of important possibility in terms of presentation of influence of linear acceleration on pilot's vestibular system. To make possibilities of presentation and training more comprehensive we decided to include human carrying centrifuge into spatial disorientation programme.

This book was released on 2001 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Spatial disorientation (SD) occurs ... when the aviator fails to sense correctly the position, motion, or attitude of his aircraft or of himself within the fixed coordinate system provided by the surface of the earth and gravitational vertical" (Benson, 1978). SD remains an important source of attrition in military flying. U.S. Army Field Manual 3-04.301 (Headquarters, Department of the Army, 2000), Aeromedical Training for Flight Personnel, states that, "Spatial disorientation contributes more to aircraft accidents than any other physiological problem in flight." Regardless of their flight time or experience, all aircrew members are vulnerable to SD. According to the U.S. Army Safety Center (USASC) accident files and a report published by the U.S. Army Aeromedical Research Laboratory (USAARL) (Braithwaite et al., 1997), SD was considered to be a significant factor in 291(30 percent) of Class A, B and C helicopter accidents in the U.S. Army between 1987 and 1995. According to the report, during this time, 110 lives were lost and a cost of nearly $468 million was incurred. The monetary cost of SD is high and the fatality rate is between one and one-half to two times that of nondisorientation accidents. One of the means of reducing the impact of SD may be through enhanced awareness and training of aviators. While aviators may have had some experience in recovering from unusual attitudes during initial entry flight training, it is not possible to demonstrate many of the disorienting circumstances safely during actual flight. It can, however, be safely and effectively demonstrated in a visual flight simulator.

This book was released on 1998 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Spatial disorientation (SD) remains an important source of attrition in military flying. SD was considered to be a significant factor in 291 (30 percent) of Class A-C helicopter accidents in the U.S. Army during an 8 year period between 1987 and 1995. The monetary cost of SD is high and the fatality rate is between one and one half to two times that of non-disorientation accidents. One method of reducing the impact of SD is through enhanced awareness and training of aviators. It is not possible to demonstrate many of the disorienting circumstances safely during actual flight. It can, however, be safely and effectively demonstrated in a visual flight simulator. Actual SD accident summaries from the U.S. Army Safety Center (USASC) were reviewed and those accidents which could reasonably be replicated in a visual simulator were selected. The resulting visual simulator scenarios are used to train aviators to recognize, avoid and overcome SD. In addition, the scenarios provide training to assist aviators in overcoming SD once encountered. Other, yet equal, benefits from this method of training are the reinforcement of aircrew coordination elements and the development of decision-making, risk assessment, and judgement skills.

Book Synopsis Investigating Mitigation Strategies for Spatial Disorientation by : Amanda Joy-Hafich Bond
Download or read book Investigating Mitigation Strategies for Spatial Disorientation written by Amanda Joy-Hafich Bond and published by . This book was released on 2022 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Spatial disorientation is the singular most common factor in human-error aviation accidents, and over ninety percent of those accidents are fatal. Despite advances in aviation over the past one hundred years in both technology and training, spatial disorientation mishaps continue at a steady pace, even though other incidents declining in frequency. Because spatial disorientation is a highly complex phenomena that involves the vestibular system, the visual system, and cognitive factors such as workload and attention, predicting spatial disorientation is extremely difficult. Likewise, exactly replicating spatial disorientation for training purposes is challenging as well as extremely dangerous and costly. The goal of this study was twofold: to understand if innate abilities can predict propensity for spatial disorientation, and to investigate the efficacy of using story-based vignettes -- narratives -- to train spatial disorientation to increase schematic learning in pilots. Results demonstrated that performance on a spatial orientation task such as the Direction Orientation Task (DOT) is not a reliable predictor for spatial disorientation recognition based on self-report spatial disorientation frequency. In addition, though story-based vignettes demonstrated potential for increased cue recognition over a control training event, significant differences were not found in novel spatial disorientation recognition, critical cue identification, or confidence. These findings indicate that spatial disorientation could be a completely perceptual (bottom-up) task rather than one that is both top-down and bottom-up and implies future research into the ways we describe and measure spatial disorientation in order to understand it as well as train for it.

This book was released on 2003 with total page 7 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Spatial disorientation (SD) remains a serious drain on USAF resources and personnel. During the ten-year period of 1990-1999, the USAF experienced 36 SD-related Class A mishaps costing a total of $557M and the loss of 44 aircrew. SD is the single most common cause of human-related aircraft accidents. The causes of SD are complex and require an understanding of the types of SD, the physiology and psychology of flight, and the way pilots train for the prevention of SD. Research has shown there are three distinct types of SD unrecognized, recognized and incapacitating. Each type impacts the pilot in a different way, and each should be thoroughly understood by the pilot before he or she experiences them in flight. Results from a study of the Post-Roll Illusion (Type I), the Graveyard Spin Illusion (Type II), and a report from a pilot who experienced the Giant Hand Illusion (Type III) is presented. Spatial orientation training techniques are included. Finally, the USAF's Spatial Disorientation Countermeasures Program, designed to reduce the number of SD mishaps, is also presented. This program emphasizes shared knowledge across all flying communities, including research in the areas of attitude awareness (visual and vestibular), multi-sensory integration (3-D audio and tactile stimulation), and both ground-based training and flight- based demonstrations. Although the phenomenon of spatial disorientation (SD) has been described and documented by many, both researcher and aircrew, since the earliest days of aviation, a complete understanding of the complex mechanisms and interactions has remained elusive. The economic consequences alone of SD are enormous, both in cost of lost aircraft and cost of training new aircrew. This paper will provide examples of different types of SD, the interrelationship of SD to loss of situational awareness (LSA), and a brief summary of the US Air Force Research Laboratory's current SD Countermeasures program.
