SDT – Austria
AMST provided SDT to the austrian fixed wing and rotary wing pilots of the Air Force in 2013.
Spatial Disorientation (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 Motion, Attitude or Position (MAP).
Human beings have maps to correct orientation for many centuries. 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.
