Test Pilot Evaluation of a Reclined Cockpit Seat as an Aid to G Tolerance and Performance

Abstract

Twenty-two student test pilots have participated in closed-loop tracking indoctrination runs on the Dynamic Environment Simulator. Each pilot flew through a series of profiles up to 6 G in both the conventional upright seat position and a 55 degrees tilt back seat position. The subjective responses and pilot questionnaires are presented.
