They have painted with broad strokes accomplishments and successes that suggest an even brighter transport aviation future Their words ring with the reality of experience the successfully met challenges of continuously evolving technologies and operations and especially the understanding that people are the payload They have recalled important events from our time in aviation history reaffirming the worldwide reach of modern aviation and the international collaboration necessary for successful global air travel Perhaps most importantly they have reinforced the unswerving dedication we must demonstrate in our quest for perpetually improving aviation safety We have been reminded for example that the transport airplane accident rate had begun to flatten out around 1980 as new generations of technologies were increasing aircraft performance and reliability Airplanes were flying faster higher farther and carrying greater payloads than ever bringing the promise of much improved air travel and enhanced safety At that time we were encouraged and confident in the success of a burgeoning new aviation reality and yet in the proverbial blink of an eye our community was faced in June 1983 with a fiery Air Canada DC 9 in Cincinatti soon followed by the flaming British Airtours B 737 at Manchester in 1985 Glowing promise had become trepidation As result of those tragedies occupant safety and accident survivability soon received unpreced

So what is the major cause of Class A mishaps over the last decade Spatial Disorientation SD was responsible for 11 of all aviation Class A mishaps over the last 11 fiscal years see figure 1 however of the fatal mishaps 42 were attributed to SD Even more striking is the fact that 65 of the fatal SD mishaps occurred in fighter aircraft see figure 3 Spatial Disorientation is an incorrect perception of one s linear and angular position and motion relative to the plane of the earth s surface Specifically in the flight environment SD is an erroneous perception of any of the parameters displayed by aircraft control and performance flight instruments AFMAN 11 217 Vol 1 Ch 17 The erroneous perception is due to a mismatch between the visual and vestibular systems The visual system is dominated by conscious thought while the vestibular system is controlled subconsciously Pilots become disoriented when their vestibular system becomes the dominant means for orientation When your attention is focused on something other than maintaining attitude and altitude or channelized on a specific task this is the time when the vestibular system takes over often giving unreliable and incorrect inputs putting aviators at risk for unrecognized Spatial Disorientation or Type SD So which flying communities does this apply to and what portions of the mission leaves a pilot more susceptible to SD It is important to note that pilots of multi place aircraft
