Hypobaric Training Issues for High Altitude Agile Aircraft
Abstract
When the next generation of high performance aircraft enter service there is a need to ensure that the aircrew destined to fly them have received the best possible training to allow them to cope with the potential significant physiological hazards that are associated with this type of flying. We believe the RAF is well placed to build on many years experience in high altitude training to apply smoothly the lessons learned to the training of aircrew on Eurofighter. It is important to remember however that in training some of the hazards of loss of cabin pressurization are significantly reduced and there are areas that require further physiological study to ensure that we can continue to give appropriate training and timely advice to our aircrew.
