SD: An Abiding Problem
• SD accounted for 19.4% of USAF Class A mishaps FY91-99*
• Cost: >$1.4 billion• The trend is an increasing slope

The Great Need and the Greater Challenge
• Integration of cognitive factors in a comprehensive aircrew training program

Building a Comprehensive SD Training Program
• Inflight SD demonstration sortie• Simulator training in tactical scenarios• Research and train to new technology
– Agile aircraft, HMD, PNVG, 3D audio, DVI

Inflight SD Demonstration
• The purpose is not to teach recoveries from unusual attitudes
• The purpose is to – experience the insidiousness of SD– understand that the human body is a
poor substitute for an ADI– extrapolate the end result of
unrecognized SD

Inflight SD Demonstration
• Incorporate in elementary and advanced flying training
• Continuation training in operational units– Determine currency requirement– Unit level or centralized location
• Tailor demo to operational mission

Simulator SD/SA Training
• Simulator training obviates the risk of SD/SA training during actual missions
• Concerted effort to build a mission-specific SD syllabus for simulators

Simulator SD/SA Training
• Develop training scenarios based on– Previous accidents or incidents– Known high risk phases of flight, system
anomalies, anything that can degrade SA
• Include multitask, high workload scenarios
• Instruct in maintaining ongoing orientation

Simulator SD/SA Training
• Currency requirements:– Advanced flying training– Operational flying training units– Upgrade to flight lead, instructor pilot– Converting to new aircraft– Stan/Eval checks

Simulator SD/SA Training
• Utilize infrared eye tracker during simulator sortie – Scan pattern critical to SD/SA– Scan affected by experience, skill,
workload, fatigue– Eye tracking provides objective
evidence of missed SA cues

SD Research
• Super-agile aircraft are on the horizon– Advanced avionics– Advanced sensors– Expanded operating envelope
• It is vital to do the research now; during an accident investigation is too late

SD Research
• UK Areas of Interest*– Hyperstereopsis due to NVD design– Effects of fatigue/workload on SD– HMDs and cockpit frame-of-reference– Consequences of switching between
infrared and I2 sources inflight– NVD currency requirements

SD Research
• Objective research will reduce SD incidents– through knowledgeable design and
procurement of NVD/HMD– through appropriate SD education and
training for aircrew
