Spatial Disorientation Visual Illusions

 

Spatial Disorientation Visual Illusions

The purpose of this series of publications on my safety blog is to provide to fly safe.

So, I’m always focusing to provide safety to all of you pilots, who read my articles on this safety blog, and also the responsibility to be a good safety pilot consistently always.

What is judgment to you as a pilot? This question is not easily defined, but one definition in my personal view is that judgment is good, common sense, as applied to making of decisions, especially correct decisions, (Sense), so, common sense is generally applied to a person’s ability to act effectively and positively in any situation.

Accidents statistics indicate that the vast majority of aviation accidents are involve in pilot error.

Today, I want to refresh the memory to all pilots, that spatial disorientation in flight sometimes are difficult to accomplish, so, how does spatial disorientation affect a pilot?

Spatial disorientation can also affect instrument-rated private and commercial pilots in certain situations.

Spatial disorientation is more likely to happen when there is no visible horizon on a dark night or in Instrument Meteorological Conditions (IMC). If malfunctioning flight instruments, high workload or a failure in management to maintain a good CRM (Crew Resource Management), are present too, then the risk of spatial disorientation is increased.

Keep in mind, that general aviation airplane accidents are involving spatial disorientation.

Here are some tips for avoiding spatial disorientation especially during night flying.

Give your eyes time to adjust, beware of bright lighting, watch for false horizons, and always trust your instruments, you as a safety pilot will be contributing to keeping the skies safe for everyone.

And always remember spatial disorientation is well-defined as the inability of a pilot to correctly interpret aircraft attitude, altitude or airspeed in relation to the earth or other points of reference.

Understanding spatial disorientation is a key to fly safe. Avoid and spatial disorientation accident, refresh your knowledge’s and I recommend you as a good safety pilot, read more about spatial disorientation. Always Fly Safe!

The Three Mental Process of Safe Flight

 

The Three Mental Process of Safe Flight

1.       AUTOMATIC REACTION: Used to maintain ongoing control of the aircraft and, also, to respond to certain types of emergencies.

2.       PROBLEM RESOLVING: Used to overcome undesirable situations by means of a systematic process.

3.       REPEATED REVIEWING: Keeps your constantly aware of all the factors that may be changing in your environment that could affect safety of flight.

Note: Keep in mind in flying the best safety device in any aircraft is a well-trained safety pilot.

 

Core and Evidence (Evidence Based Training)

 Core and Evidence (Evidence Based Training) EBT

In my previous post, I wrote what does evidence based training technique mean, so now; I want to explain the difference about Core and Evidence.

Core:

The core competencies are evident and determinate and include everything a pilot needs to operate safely, effectively and efficiently in today’s aviation environment.

Evidence:

The evidence, is the results from the analyses of worldwide safety and training data. The evidence collections from normal operations monitoring LOSA (Line Operations Safety Assessment) and FDA (Flight Data Analysis), to data collected from training, accidents and incidents.

The evidence is used to determine the need for training (called training criticality) through aircraft of different generations. These results effort a three year recurrent program called EBT Baseline, published by ICAO in 2013. In the EBT Baseline, the training topics were resulting from the EBT Evidence Study and were used to recover and improve pilot performance in the core competencies.

The EBT is a voluntary program but its benefits are important to maintain a good safety records. The goal of EBT is to improve the safety operations by increasing the effectiveness of a good pilot training.

Evidence Based Training is designed to mitigate the existent risks we see in day-to-day operations, by developing competence, enhancing the capability of pilots to deal with unexpected and unforeseen events.

Evidence Based Training is also an Alternative Training Means that will allow pilots to improve and maintain competencies.

In my next writing post, I’m going to exchange dealing with the unexpected, and explain what the black sawn concept means theory in aviation is. 

So, what is an example of a black swan event, for the aviation industry, and also some examples of black swan events to pilots understand the concept.
