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.

Download or read book A Human Error Approach to Aviation Accident Analysis written by Douglas A. Wiegmann and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2017-12-22 with total page 174 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Human error is implicated in nearly all aviation accidents, yet most investigation and prevention programs are not designed around any theoretical framework of human error. Appropriate for all levels of expertise, the book provides the knowledge and tools required to conduct a human error analysis of accidents, regardless of operational setting (i.e. military, commercial, or general aviation). The book contains a complete description of the Human Factors Analysis and Classification System (HFACS), which incorporates James Reason's model of latent and active failures as a foundation. Widely disseminated among military and civilian organizations, HFACS encompasses all aspects of human error, including the conditions of operators and elements of supervisory and organizational failure. It attracts a very broad readership. Specifically, the book serves as the main textbook for a course in aviation accident investigation taught by one of the authors at the University of Illinois. This book will also be used in courses designed for military safety officers and flight surgeons in the U.S. Navy, Army and the Canadian Defense Force, who currently utilize the HFACS system during aviation accident investigations. Additionally, the book has been incorporated into the popular workshop on accident analysis and prevention provided by the authors at several professional conferences world-wide. The book is also targeted for students attending Embry-Riddle Aeronautical University which has satellite campuses throughout the world and offers a course in human factors accident investigation for many of its majors. In addition, the book will be incorporated into courses offered by Transportation Safety International and the Southern California Safety Institute. Finally, this book serves as an excellent reference guide for many safety professionals and investigators already in the field.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Human error is cited as a major cause in over 70% of accidents, andit is widely agreed that a better understanding of humancapabilities and limitations - both physical and psychological -would help reduce human error and improve flight safety. This book was first published when the UK Civil AviationAuthority introduced an examination in human performance andlimitations for all private and professional pilot licences. Nowthe Joint Aviation Authorities of Europe have published a newsyllabus as part of their Joint Aviation Requirements for FlightCrew Licensing. The book has been completely revised and rewritten to takeaccount of the new syllabus. The coverage of basic aviationpsychology has been greatly expanded, and the section on aviationphysiology now includes topics on the high altitude environment andon health maintenance. Throughout, the text avoids excessive jargonand technical language. "There is no doubt that this book provides an excellent basicunderstanding of the human body, its limitations, the psychologicalprocesses and how they interact with the aviation environment. I amcurrently studying for my ATPL Ground Exams and I found this bookto be an invaluable aid. It is equally useful for those studyingfor the PPL and for all pilots who would like to be reminded oftheir physiological and psychological limitations." –General Aviation, June 2002

Download or read book Spatial Disorientation: A Survey of U.S. Army Rotary-Wing Aircrew written by and published by . This book was released on 1996 with total page 106 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A survey of 299 aircrew in current flying' practice was performed at five U.S. Army airfields within CONUS. Respondents were asked a number of questions about their worst ever episode of spatial disorientation (SD) and their worst episode in the 4 months prior to the survey. They also were asked to classify episodes as minor, significant, or severe according to the threat to flight safety. Opinions also were sought on various aircraft types and flight conditions. In the final part of the questionnaire, they were asked about their experience of break-off and giant hand phenomena. Analysis of the data showed that 78 percent had suffered SD during their flying career (8 percent had suffered severely enough to put flight safety at risk). Twenty-two percent had suffered in the 4 months prior to completing the questionnaire (2 percent severely enough to put flight safety at risk). In 33 percent of worst ever episodes, the event had affected conduct of the mission while flying accuracy had been affected in 64 percent. (The figures for the 4-month data were 35 percent and 68 percent.) Brownout, whiteout, and inadvertent entry to instrument meteorological conditions (IMC) were the most easily identifiable source of severe episodes of SD, but they accounted for 13 percent of the worst ever episodes. The leans accounted for 44 percent of episodes. Few other episodes could be linked to well known problems. Aircrew were not initially aware of being disoriented in 43 percent of worst ever episodes (38 percent of episodes when they were looking out of the aircraft cockpit). Experience had no apparent protective effect against either the incidence or severity of episodes.

Book excerpt: I am honored to have been invited to give the keynote address to this symposium on spatial disorientation. Spatial disorientation (S.D.) is not a new problem in aviation and over the last 50 years it has been addressed on numerous occasions within the NATO community. Yet despite the increased understanding of the varied aetiology of S.D. and improvement in the display of information to the pilot to facilitate correct spatial orientation (5.0.), accidents, primarily attributable to S.D., continue to occur. Indeed, in the last decade the proportion of human error accidents in which S.D. was considered to be a primary or contributory cause of the mishaps has increased. This would appear to be due, at least in part, to the introduction of new technology, in particular night vision goggles, that has allowed flight operations in environmental conditions which previously were not possible. In the presentations to follow there will be descriptions of new technologies and training techniques that should aid the maintenance of spatial orientation (8.0.) in flight and reduce the frequency of S.D. incidents and orientation error accidents. But these benefits are likely to be tempered by new challenges arising from flight in high performance agile aircraft and unattended aerial vehicles - UAVs. The human factors and aeromedical community also need to be cognizant of S.D. in virtual reality environments as well as in those piloting UAVs.

This book was released on 2007 with total page 34 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "Flying an aircraft is a challenging activity that exposes pilots to many potential hazards. One of the most significant of these is spatial disorientation. Spatial disorientation is a condition where the pilot is unable to correctly interpret aircraft attitude, altitude or airspeed in relation to the Earth. The resulting disorientation can lead to a loss of control of the aircraft. [...] The ATSB report explains that the chances of a spatial disorientation event occurring in flight can be reduced by a series of simple preventive measures, many of which can be attended to before flight. These include flying when fit and well to do so, not flying under the influence of alcohol or medications, avoiding visual flight rules into instrument meteorological conditions, increasing awareness of spatial disorientation illusions and planning for their possible appearance at different stages of flight in the pre-flight planning process."--Publisher's website.

Download or read book Spatial Disorientation in General Aviation Accidents written by and published by . This book was released on 1978 with total page 16 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Spatial disorientation (SD) refers to an incorrect self-appraisal of the attitude or motion of the pilot and his aircraft with respect to the earth. This paper defines elements of SD problems as encountered in general civil aviation. Accident reports made by the National Transportation Safety Board for a recent 6-year period were reviewed. Statistical computations were made relating SD to fatal accidents. Small fixed-wing aircraft (under 12,500 lb) accounted for 97.3 percent of all SD accidents. Inclement weather was associated with 42 percent of all fatal accidents, and SD was a cause or factor in 35.6 percent of these cases. Non-instrument-rated pilots were involved in 84.7 percent of SD weather-involved accidents. These and other data attest to the importance of this psychophysiological phenomenon (SD) in flight safety. Suggestions are made of ways to improve pilots' awareness and understanding of this problem.

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.
