Pilot Disorientation, Sensorial Response Measured by Dynamic Posturography in SPAF Pilots

Abstract

Spatial disorientation (SD) is a real risk and one of the main causes of aircraft mishaps. Recent studies about accidents in military aviation (1,2,3,4,5) have calculated that approximately in 32% of the most serious accidents, SD is involved. Not in vain, practically the entirety of the pilots have experienced phenomenons of this type at during their flying career.
