Question 18

Spatial D types

Answer 18

URI (type 1-3)

Question 19

TYPE I UNRECOGNIZED

Answer 19

Most Dangerous The aviator does not perceive any indication of spatial disorientation. What is seen or thought to be seen , is corroborated by the senses. An example of this is the Height-Depth Perception Illusion.

Question 20

TYPE II RECOGNIZED

Answer 20

The problem is perceived but not
recognized. The aviator may feel that flight controls are malfunctioning or that there is a failure of the instruments. The classic example is the Graveyard Spin.

Question 21

TYPE III INCAPACITATING

Answer 21

The aviator experiences such an
overwhelming sensation of movement that they cannot orient visually or by instruments. This disorientation isn’t fatal if control of the aircraft is regained. An example of this is the Coriolis Illusion.

Question 22

OTHER SPATIAL DISORIENTATION TERMS

Answer 22

SENSORY ILLUSION- False perception of reality caused by the conflict of orientation information from one or more mechanisms of equilibrium. This is the major cause of spatial disorientation.

VERTIGO- Spinning sensation usually
caused by a peripheral vestibular
abnormality in the middle ear. Often
misused term that crewmembers apply to all forms of spatial disorientation or dizziness.

Question 26

PROPRIOCEPTIVE SYSTEM ILLUSIONS

Answer 26

PROPRIOCEPTIVE ILLUSIONS- Very rare and normally don’t occur alone. Usually associated with the Vestibular system and to a lesser degree the Visual system. Normally this illusion is felt as a false sense of vertical speed. During a turn when there is no visual reference, a proper turn gives a pushing feeling in the seat and pilot perceives vertical climb. The opposite is true in turn recovery where pressure into the seat is lifted. Pilot may perceive a descent and climb or reduce airspeed.
