Aviator Spatial Disorientation

Paper Summary:

In this essay, the writer discusses three articles relating to NVG technology, relative to spatial disorientation and the human factors involved with NVG deployment. Several hypotheses are offered that are intended to provide guidance into further research vis-a-vis one of these particular NVG concerns related to spatial disorientation in the human pilot.

From the Paper:

"Based upon the research presented it is hypothesized that one of the most important issues concerning pilot use of NVG technology is the existing lighting technology within the aircraft and that further research in this regard will lead to more effective NVG technology. In almost all cases, spatial disorientation is related to the absence of light to one extent or another and although NVGs require blackout conditions, internal lighting within the aircraft is extremely important considering the many alarm and warning systems that function off of a visual warning system."
