Book excerpt: Given its characteristics and the complexity of its use and its environment, the helicopter is exposed to damage and a whole series of measures can be previewed to alientate this risk. The presentations concentrated on five main topics: 1. Crew training; 2. The different conditions of use; 3. The psycho-physiological component; 4. Survival equipment and methods; and 5. Accidents and their prevention. A careful reading of the papers presented at the symposium will enable both specialists and decision-makers to make a summary assessment of the constraints of the missions on the one hand, and on the other, of the new methods of protection and training and the new technologies which will enable aircrew to carry out their missions in a safer environment. In addition, they will perhaps discover that helicopter operation can be optimised by a series of different devices and above all by judicious matching of "type of helicopter-type of aircrew training-type of additional on-board equipment".

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Several recent studies at the U.S. Army Aeromedical Research Laboratory (USAARL) and the U.S. Army Safety Center (USASC) have highlighted the significant contribution of Spatial Disorientation (SD) to helicopter accidents. In the U.S. Army the cost can be approximated at $58M and 14 lives each year. Following some local training initiatives by USAARL and the U.S. Army School of Aviation Medicine (USASAM), the first Triservice Symposium on Spatial Disorientation in Rotary-Wing Operations was held from 24 September 1996 through 26 September 1996 at USASAM. This symposium sought to address three main areas: (1) the seriousness of the SD hazard; (2) current methods to control the hazard; and (3) the associated safety and risk management concerns. This report contains the proceedings of the symposium. The symposium was considered to be a success in raising the awareness of the impact of SD on rotary-wing flying operations in the aeromedical and safety communities of the services. It was clear that SD imposes a particular hazard to rotary wing operations which differs in many respects to that experienced by fixed wing operators. There was unanimous agreement that initiatives to overcome the problem must be made. In order to maintain the impetus established by the symposium and secure funding for the various initiatives, the report contains a memorandum detailing the important factors and makes recommendations for future activity in the area. Work is required in education, training, research, and equipment procurement. Control factors are discussed and recommendations made according to whether the approach should be solely directed towards the U.S. Army, or on a triservice basis.

Book excerpt: A RTO Human Factors and Medicine Panel Workshop held in San Diego, California, in October 1998 brought together Aeromedical Trainers to discuss current Aeromedical Training Programmes and to present new approaches to this training. Various approaches to Aeromedical Training were also discussed and STANAG 3114 "Aeromedical Training of Flight Personnel" was reviewed. Presentations included: categories of training, subjects taught, frequency of training, duration of courses, period of validity and altitude chamber profiles utilized. Most NATO countries were present and provided overviews of their programmes, as did representatives from Poland and the Czech Republic. Presentations also included new approaches to Aeromedical Training including: Simulator Based Physiology Training (SYMPHYS), Simulator Based Disorientation Training and In-Flight Disorientation Training. The Workshop recommended changes to STANAG 3114 including, but not limited to: removal of the split between Rotary and Fixed-wing aircraft training requirements, addition of the requirement for instruction on aeromedical aspects of new Life Support Equipment and addition of the requirement for a practical Spatial Disorientation experience during refresher training. Also recommended was the establishment of a Working Group to study the variation between countries in rates of Decompression Illness from altitude chamber exposure. It was also recommended that NATO validate the need for a new STANAG on Night Vision Training.

Book excerpt: This book addresses relevant issues of the special physiological, psychological and physical stresses that are important in the flight environment. It describes, in detail, the conditions needing this form of transport and how patients may be safely carried. Practical and international in approach, much of the book is devoted to clinical matters. Administration and organization are also discussed, but are addressed from the standpoint of the clinical aeromedical escort. The text is suitable for medical, paramedical and nursing personnel and for those working in organizations whose duties include the transportation of the sick and injured by air. This second edition of Aeromedical Transportation is a more accurate, succinct, relevant and referenced version of the first. Since the first edition was published in 1996, the concept of "evidence-based medicine" has been accepted as essential in any book that endeavors to be the accepted knowledge base in its subject area. It is still the only book published anywhere in the world that is devoted to the principles of aeromedical transport. As such, it has rightly become known as the sole reference for the industry. To maintain this credibility, the book has been further researched, corrected, updated and referenced. International in scope, it omits the first edition's less useful information. New material includes chapters on the transport of intensive care patients and medical emergencies/death in flight.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This paper examines why current aeromedical evacuation is not adequate for the combat zone. Aeromedical evacuation is an important capability that the Joint Force Commander must have in order to successfully conduct combat operations. This paper deals with the intratheater tactical transportation of wounded personnel via rotary-wing aircraft. The paper summarizes current joint patient movement doctrine from Joint Pub 4-02.2. It also explains the differences in the U.S. Military services' patient movement capability. The paper details three problems with current aeromedical evacuation doctrine. First, attrition of aircraft, due to combat, is not factored in doctrine. Second, because of their medically trained crews and onboard medical suites, dedicated air ambulance capabilities exceed air casualty evacuation in providing lifesaving transportation. Third, although the Army is assigned the responsibility for transfer of patients to afloat medical treatment facilities, this mission is often accomplished by Navy or Marine Corps rotary-wing casualty evacuation assets. The paper proposes a solution to these problems by establishing a standing Joint Intra-Theater Aeromedical Evacuation Task Force (JIAETF) to provide dedicated aeromedical evacuation to the Joint Force Commander.

This book was released on 2019-02-09 with total page 170 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This manual, Training Circular TC 3-04.93 Aeromedical Training for Flight Personnel with Change 1 January 2019, provides crewmembers with an understanding of the physiological responses that can occur in the aviation environment. It also describes the effects of the flight environment on individual mission accomplishment. In addition, this publication outlines essential aeromedical training requirements that assist commanders and flight surgeons in conducting aeromedical education for Army crewmembers. Subject areas addressed are by no means all-inclusive but are presented to assist crewmembers in increasing performance and efficiency. This publication contains guidelines for aircrew training program commanders, flight surgeons, rated crewmembers (RCMs), nonrated crewmembers (NRCMs), and nonrated non-crewmembers (NCM). The principal audience for TC 3-04.93 is Army Aviation, primarily fixed-wing (FW) and rotary-wing (RW) crewmembers and UAS operators. It is applicable to division, corps, the Theater Aviation Command, Theater Command, Area Sustainment Command, and the Army Aviation community, including members of allied, coalition, and civil defense support of civil authorities' forces. Implementation of this publication conforms to Army Regulation (AR) 95-1, TC 3-04.11, and appropriate aircrew training manuals.To keep pace with the current operating environment, the development of more sophisticated aircraft, and improvements in weapons systems, Army crewmembers must be capable of operating these systems for extended periods of time, in austere environments, and under adverse conditions. The associated physiological impacts of operating under such conditions could impact aircrew performance and jeopardize mission accomplishment unless crewmembers are trained to recognize and understand these aeromedical factors. Spatial disorientation is the physiologic factor that contributes most often to aircraft mishaps. TC 3-04.93 updates previous doctrine and utilizes lessons learned from recent military conflicts and contingency operations in order to incorporate the most relevant training methods related to spatial disorientation (SD).

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Aerospace physiology (also known as flight or aviation physiology, human factors, or aeromedical factors) is the scientific discipline studying the effects of flight conditions on human physiological and cognitive systems teaching aviators to work and function at peak efficiency in the abnormal environment of flight. This information is introduced to pilots throughout their training and includes hypoxia, spatial disorientation, visual illusions, fatigue, trapped gases, and many others. Unfortunately, all of these issues still create incidents and accidents for pilots on a regular basis even today. The reason for this disparity is pilots may know about the information but fail to understand it completely. This book will transform a pilot’s potential misinterpretation of this subject matter into definitive action on the flight deck. The most current, authoritative, and comprehensive resource on this critical subject is Aerospace Physiology: Aeromedical and Human Performance Factors in Aviation (Second Edition). This book provides professional-grade information for enhancing safety-of-flight for all pilot experience levels. The book was written for use in academic settings and is currently the preferred text on flight physiology for the world-renowned University of North Dakota’s John D. Odegard School of Aerospace Sciences, plus other university aviation programs. The book’s twenty-two chapters follow a logical presentation format, with each chapter thoroughly discussing the topic in understandable language, followed by core competency questions. Each topic details the environmental causes, potential physiological & cognitive responses, plus effective and proven anticipation & mitigation strategies. The book uses the most recent research and experience-based information combined with current aviation incidents and accidents that illustrate how these issues present themselves in realistic flight environments, followed by discussions on how those events may have been prevented. The information in this book is based on Mr. Martin’s thirty years of military and civilian aviation experience, as well as modeled after the US Air Force’s Physiological Training Program for pilots and the comprehensive European Union Aviation Safety Agency’s (EASA) flight physiology human performance standards. Using Aerospace Physiology: Aeromedical and Human Performance Factors for Pilots (Second Edition) as your learning or teaching resource will elevate your standard of training to its highest levels. The book is essential for all student pilots, certified flight instructors, and licensed private and professional pilots.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Haptic human-computer interaction is interaction between a human computer user and the computer user interface based on the powerful human sense of touch. Haptic hardware has been discussed and exploited for some time, particularly in the context of computer games. However, so far, little attention has been paid to the general principles of haptic HCI and the systematic use of haptic devices for improving efficiency, effectiveness, and satisfaction in HCI. This book is the first one to focus on haptic human-computer interaction. It is based on a workshop held in Glasgow, UK, in August / September 2000. The 22 revised full papers presented were carefully reviewed and selected from 35 submissions. Besides a brief historic survey, the book offers topical sections on haptic interfaces for blind people, collaborative haptics, psychological issues and measurement, and applications of haptics.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A New York Times Best Book of the Year A Time Best Book of the Year A Kirkus Reviews Best Nonfiction Book of the Year 2020 Andrew Carnegie Medals for Excellence Winner From journalist Adam Higginbotham, the New York Times bestselling “account that reads almost like the script for a movie” (The Wall Street Journal)—a powerful investigation into Chernobyl and how propaganda, secrecy, and myth have obscured the true story of one of the history’s worst nuclear disasters. Early in the morning of April 26, 1986, Reactor Number Four of the Chernobyl Atomic Energy Station exploded, triggering one of the twentieth century’s greatest disasters. In the thirty years since then, Chernobyl has become lodged in the collective nightmares of the world: shorthand for the spectral horrors of radiation poisoning, for a dangerous technology slipping its leash, for ecological fragility, and for what can happen when a dishonest and careless state endangers its citizens and the entire world. But the real story of the accident, clouded from the beginning by secrecy, propaganda, and misinformation, has long remained in dispute. Drawing on hundreds of hours of interviews conducted over the course of more than ten years, as well as letters, unpublished memoirs, and documents from recently-declassified archives, Adam Higginbotham brings the disaster to life through the eyes of the men and women who witnessed it firsthand. The result is a “riveting, deeply reported reconstruction” (Los Angeles Times) and a definitive account of an event that changed history: a story that is more complex, more human, and more terrifying than the Soviet myth. “The most complete and compelling history yet” (The Christian Science Monitor), Higginbotham’s “superb, enthralling, and necessarily terrifying...extraordinary” (The New York Times) book is an indelible portrait of the lessons learned when mankind seeks to bend the natural world to his will—lessons which, in the face of climate change and other threats, remain not just vital but necessary.
