Aeromedical Handbook for Aircrew

Abstract

The purpose of this aeromedical handbook is to provide information on all the various aspects of aviation medicine which have an important bearing on the aircrew task. The author has concentrated on a practical approach to the subject in order to answer the questions most frequently posed by aviators. At the same time, due regard has been taken of the contents of the NATO Standardisation Agreement on aeromedical training for aircrew in order to ensure that the needs of that syllabus have been met. The book is intended for use by aircrews throughout the NATO alliance who fly many different types of aircraft in various roles. The text has therefore been confined mainly to the important principles involved and any reference to equipment is only by way of example.
