Book excerpt: Recent accident statistics reveal that Spatial Disorientation (SD) is still a major threat to flight safety in many NATO countries. A review of SD training programmes as applied in most NATO countries, in agreement with STANAG 3114, shows that SD training is not fully developed. The goal of the report is to provide the necessary information to improve these SD training programmes. To this purpose, the report provides many detailed examples of ground-based and in-flight SD training scenarios. Ground-based training devices range from Barany chairs to Full Flight Simulators; in-flight SD training scenarios are described for rotary wing as well as for fixed wing aircraft. A separate chapter is devoted to SD avoidance training for Night Vision Devices. The report also pays attention to the optimization of the SD training programme by selecting the appropriate SD scenarios, by choosing and training the right personnel and by the suitable integration of basic and continuation SD courses into the pilot training programme. An adequate training programme will enhance SD awareness, and consequently, flight safety.

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.

Book Synopsis Spatial Disorientation: Causes, Consequences and Countermeasures for the USAF. by : Todd E. Heinle
Download or read book Spatial Disorientation: Causes, Consequences and Countermeasures for the USAF. written by Todd E. Heinle and published by . 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.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In this paper we give an outline of the ground course on spatial disorientation that TNO Human Factor provides for military student aviators of the Royal Netherlands Airforce. During this one-day course a variety of laboratory equipment is used to let students experience and understand different disorienting phenomena and to make them aware of the peculiarities and limits of their sensory systems. With these demonstrations students learn in what situations disorientation, and possibly also symptoms of motion sickness, can be expected and when not. The course also includes an introductory session on the consequences of night vision for situational awareness, which we will describe here. We pay special attention to the motivation and form of the course. Finally we briefly discuss how the flight simulated demonstrator (DISO) of the RNLAF will be employed for demonstrating some flight-related visual illusions and bow we upgraded the cockpit with night vision compatibility for practicing the use of night vision goggles (NVG).

Download or read book Human Performance and Limitations in Aviation written by R. D. Campbell and published by John Wiley & Sons. This book was released on 2008-04-15 with total page 208 pages. 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

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.

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.
Book Synopsis Advanced Spatial Disorientation Training Concepts by : Kent K. Gillingham
Download or read book Advanced Spatial Disorientation Training Concepts written by Kent K. Gillingham and published by . This book was released on 1974 with total page 35 pages. 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.

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.

This book was released on 2019-02-11 with total page 242 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Aviation remains one of the most active and challenging domains for human factors and applied psychology. Since 1981, the biennial International Symposium on Aviation Psychology (ISAP) has convened for the purposes of (a) presenting the latest research on human performance problems and opportunities within aviation systems, (b) envisioning design solutions that best utilize human capabilities for creating safe and efficient aviation systems, and (c) the bringing together of scientists, research sponsors, and operators in an effort to bridge the gap between research and application. Based upon the potential impact of emerging trends, current debates, or enduring issues presented at the 19th ISAP, select authors were invited to expand on their work following the benefit of interactions at the symposium. The authors include leading scientists, prominent researchers, and aviation operators contributing to the discussion of the most pressing technical challenges and research priorities. Visions for the incorporation of new interface technologies within next-generation cockpits, tools for future air traffic control research, neuroergonomic findings in aviation settings, and human limitations affecting safety are offered. The aim of these volumes is to report the latest findings in aviation psychology and to suggest new directions for advancing the field.

Download or read book Spatial Disorientation--current Concepts and Aeromedical Implications written by Robert H. Bonner and published by . This book was released on 1963 with total page 36 pages. 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.
