SD is the inability to correctly interpret aircraft attitude, altitude or airspeed in relation to the earth or other points of reference
‘To err is human’
Background
Human beings make mistakes. That is a simple fact.
SD and misperception generally occurs when a pilot cannot correctly interpret an aircraft’s attitude, altitude or airspeed – or in other words: Motion, Attitude or Position (MAP).
Aviation presents unique challenges whereby the earth or a specific point of interest in flight may become lost and perception does not match reality.
This presents the pilot with significant risks; you can mitigate these risks with training and raising the awareness of the responses of the human vestibular, proprioceptive and visual systems and their relationships.
Specific examples are:
Mission based SD training
AMST offers a complete training solution based on many years of experience and courses specifically designed to meet the needs of discerning customers.
Courses developed specifically for fighter, helicopter and transport aircraft – specific topics for the military are based on STANAG 3114 (aeromedical training for aircrew) and STANAG 7147 which deals with the Night Vision Goggle (NVG) elements. They link to the Night Vision Training System (NVTS) and the advanced Integrated Night Vision Training System (INVTS) that extends the SD training into the operational arena.
Subjects included:
The practical application of the above-mentioned topics ensures that students experience a broad spectrum of visual and vestibular illusions.
The ‘building-block’ approach ensures that pilots who are going through basic training and pilots at the refresher/recurrent training stage get training scenarios relevant for them.
Improves flight safety and operational capability
