“…En el entrenamiento contra este principio de "la orientación primero" un piloto debe despreciar la sensación de giro (los sujetos aprenden rápidamente a poner en "cuarentena" esta "percepción novedosa" en las primeras experiencias de entrenamiento en SD (Petru & Frantis, 2015), y atender a la interpretación de los instrumentos de vuelo para recobrar el control de la aeronave, es decir, debe cambiar la prioridad de atender instintivamente la entrada sensorial, que consume considerable recurso de atención, por una tarea secundaria cognitiva para disipar y/o superar la SD. (Gresty & Golding, 2009, p. 264) Existe una concertación mundial para las estrategias de prevención en SD centradas en cuatro pilares del entrenamiento fisiológico: Educación, formación, investigación y equipamiento.…”

Characterization of Visual Scanning of Instruments inInduced Spatial Disorientation in Fixed Wing Pilots of the Colombian Air Force * *Description: This research work addressed the issue of spatial disorientation in pilots in whom the visual instrument check technique has been proposed as a countermeasure as a basis for optimizing performance in the face of this physiological illusion. This study seeks to characterize the visual behaviors used in simulated training in an inclination-type spatial disorientation scenario. Problematic It has been observed that some pilots with little experience in their training in the disorientation simulator have difficulties with the control of the aircraft. Finding positive feedback methods for use by the instructor can improve the learning outcomes of these exercises. The objective of the project To determine the visual scanning patterns of the visual technique of cross-checking of instruments in the study population, using the fixation times in the control instruments and behavior during the inclination illusion induced in the GYRO II spatial disorientation; Have starting points to propose improvements in the space disorientation training program of the Colombian Air Force Design or Methodology A GYRO IPT II spatial disorientation simulator integrated with interactive controls from the T6 Texan II aircraft and an Eye-Tracker device was used. Twenty-four military pilots XII Caracterización del Escaneo Visual en Desorientación Espacial proficient in maintaining a straight and level flight participated who have proven their abilities to fly this simulator. The speed pilots were exposed to the profile of the tilting illusion while the simulator decelerated their yaw or angle. Point of view behavior was monitored in the disorientation induction phase. ResultsI know that 83.1% of the study population has experienced spatial disorientation type 1 or recognized mildly. Immediately upon being under the wrong perception of the vestibular system, the pilots present a visual instrument check technique in which they concentrate their gaze mainly on the ADI, ALT, and VSI instruments, trying to preserve altitude. All the subjects recognized the spatial disorientation and presented a significant correlation between a visual technique of cross-checking of suitable instruments and the minor variables loss of height p = 0.002, no violation of MSA p = 0.011, and a greater number of fixations in instruments p = 0, 04. No relationship was found between performance variables and experience according to flight hours. ConclusionThe illusion of tilt in the GYRO IPT II advanced spatial disorientation simulator affects aircraft control and an adequate visual instrument check technique, observed by the gaze tracking device, counteracts the loss of height.

The paper discusses the automated detection of spatial disorientation from recorded flight data. The first part of the paper briefly introduces middle ear function and its influence on spatial disorientation. The specially developed simulator and aerodrome manoeuvre flown by the pilot during the experiment is also mentioned. The second part of the paper analyses the recorded data from experimental flights and proposes an algorithm for the automatic evaluation of spatial disorientation. An example graphical interpretation of the recorded data is provided with a clear explanation of the important parameters. At the end of the paper, the most important conclusions of the work are presented.

“…All pilots, especially beginners, ought to be aware of this fact; therefore, the demonstration of its effects on the pilots' spatial orientation should be standardly included into the aero-medical training of military pilots [5,6], as well as civilian ones, but no system solution to address this issue has been developed so far [7].…”
