Aircrew Critique of High-G Centrifuge Training. Part 2. Comments on the G-Awareness Briefing
Abstract
The Naval Air Development Center initiated its centrifuge high-G training program for aircrew in late 1988. This report is a continuation of previous reports that review the results of training the first 525 aircrew. Specifically, the response of aircrew to the post-training critique question 'Comments on the G-awareness briefing' is reviewed and analyzed. The six major points of importance concerning the G-awareness briefing portion of the training program include: (1) a clear, concise format, (2) 'fighter aviation' physiology only, (3) strong operational orientation, (4) credibility of the instructor, (5) maximum utilization of videotape incidents/accidents, and (6) dedicated classroom facilities/educational environment. Fighter aircrew have given extremely favorable ratings to the current G-awareness briefing, the vast majority recommending no changes whatsoever. Any modification should therefore be reviewed very critically to ensure a continued high level of fighter-attack aircrew acceptability.
