29

30
Q

Spatial Disorientation Definition

A

Pilots erroneous perception of position, attitude or motion in relation to the gravitational vertical and the Earths surface

31
Q

What, where and how of Spatial Disorientation

A

What: Loss of a/c control
Where: Degraded Visual Environment
How: Spatial Disorientation

32
Q

Types of Spatial Disorientation

A

Type 1 Unrecognized (Worst one)

Type 2 Recognized (Pilots knows, but thinks instruments or controls are wrong)

Type 3 Incapacitating (Physically disorientated, can’t regain control)

33
Q

Spatial Disorientation

Organs

A

Visual System (80%)
Vestibular System (Semicircular Canals [Roll, Pitch, Yaw] and Otolith organ [Change in Speed])
Somatosensory System (Muscles, bones etc.)

34
Q

Visual Illusions

A

To be added for BI

35
Q

Vestibular Illusions

The Leans

Note: To be honest i don’t know if i understood these ones completely. So be careful with the explanations.

A
36
Q

Vestibular Illusions

Graveyard Spiral

Note: To be honest i don’t know if i understood these ones completely. So be careful with the explanations.

A

Basically the same as “The Leans” but more for fixed wing

37
Q

Vestibular Illusions

Coriolis Illusion

Note: To be honest i don’t know if i understood these ones completely. So be careful with the explanations.

A

Headmovement during turns can cause unrelated fluid movements in the semicircular canals; feeling of spinning and tumbling

Most dangerous!

38
Q

Vestibular Illusions

Post-Roll Illusion

Note: To be honest i don’t know if i understood these ones completely. So be careful with the explanations.

A

A Pilot incorrectly adds more bank angle because of misperception of the rolling motion.

He thinks he doesnt rolled enough into the turn, because the fluid stops and the feeling of rolling is absent.

39
Q

Somatogravic Illusions (Otoliths)

G-Excess

A

Accidential overbank in turns because of headmovement
Body misinterprets the actual range of motion because of the g-Forces

40
Q

Somatogravic Illusions (Otoliths)

Elevator Illusion

A

False perception of vertical movement due to G-Forces acting in the stopping phase of Ascends and descents

41
Q

Middle Ear Discomfort

A

A feeling of pressure during a climb of descent due to a difference in pressure between middle ear and atmosphere (Eustachien tubes blocked)

Can be solved during climb with chewing or stretching.

Can be solved during descent with chewing, stretching or Valsalva maneuvre.

42
Q

Hypoxia Definition

A

State of O² deficiency in the blood cells and tissues significant enough to cause impairment of function

43
Q

Types of Hypoxia

A

Hypoxic Hypoxia (not enough O² in air or decreased pressure prevents diffusion)

Hypemic Hypoxia (Reduction in blood’S O²-carrying capacity (i.e. Carbon monoxide), blood loss, anemia, sulfur nitrate)

Stagnant Hypoxia (Unadequate Blood Circulation [i.e. High G’s]) heart attack

Histotoxic Hypoxia (Poisoning, cyanide! Arsenics! Drugs, Tissues can’t use O²)

44
Q

Stages of Hypoxia

Indifferent

A

Alt: 0 - 10.000ft
98 - 90% oxygen saturation
@ 4000ft impaired Nightvision

45
Q

Stages of Hypoxia

Compensatory

A

Alt: 10.000 - 15.000 ft
89 - 80% oxygen saturation
Drownsiness, poor judgement, impaired coordination and efficiency
faster breathing, higher heartrate

46
Q

Stages of Hypoxia

Disturbance

A

Alt: 15.000 - 20.000 ft
79 - 70% oxygen saturation
Impaired flight control, handwriting, speech, vision, intellectual function, judgement, decreased coordination, memory and sensation of pain

47
Q

Stages of Hypoxia

Critical

A

Alt: > 20.000 ft
69 -60 % oxygen saturation
Circulatory and central nervous system failure, convulsions, cardiovasular collapse, death

48
Q

Cures of Hypoxia

A

Treat with 100% Oxygen

If no O²: Descent below 10.000 ft

49
Q

Preventions of Hypoxia

A

Limit time at high altitude
Supplemental Oxygen
Pressurized Oxygen or cabin

Apply corresponding times for Altitudes

50
Q

Alternobaric Vertigo

A

Changes in atmossphere can lead to a vestibular dysfunction (Especially when going from high to low pressure [climbing]).
Basically a pressure difference between the ears IN the middle ear, caused by difference in the ability to equalize pressure through the Eustachian tube.

Feeling of Dizziness

51
Q

Somatogravic Illusion

Acceleration/ Deceleration

A

Example: Otoliths are moved backwards during a fast acceleration and can imply to the pilot a pitch up movement, so he reacts (incorrectly) with a pitch downward movement

52
Q

Oculoargravic Illusion

A

Illusion occurs due to a misperception of movement of a fixed object.

53
Q

Spatial Disorientation

Countermeasures

A

Understand the risk factors, anticipate and plan them in preflight

Employ good crew coordination. Encourage transfer of controls when disorientated

Plan mission route and identify DVE or Spatial disorietation places or mission parts

Never fly without an artificial horizon

Don’t fly VFR in IMC

Maintain proficiency in IFR flying

TRUST YOUR INSTRUMENTS

try to recover from SD with a crosscheck of your instruments, IF NOT POSSIBLE: TRANSFER THE CONTROLS!!!

54
Q

Vection (Induced Motion Illusion)

A

Falsely perceived motion of onself when no physical motion is actually occuring. Something else moves, and it is perceived as self movement.

55
Q

Size constancy

A

Own position or approach is misperceived because you think you know the size of the object. (You maybe think all Lanes on the Stagefields are the same)

56
Q

Shape Constancy

A

Mispreception of own position because of sloping of the runway

57
Q

Fascination (Fixation) in flying

A

To much focus on one thing (Problem or target) so that you forget to fly the aircraft.
