AB- Several recent studies at the U.S. Army Aeromedical Research Laboratory
(USAARL) and the U.S. Army Safety Center (USASC) have highlighted the
significant contribution of Spatial Disorientation (SD) to helicopter
accidents. In the U.S. Army the cost can be approximated at $58M and 14
lives each year. Following some local training initiatives by USAARL
and the U.S. Army School of Aviation Medicine (USASAM), the first
Triservice Symposium on Spatial Disorientation in Rotary-Wing
Operations was held from 24 September 1996 through 26 September 1996 at
USASAM. This symposium sought to address three main areas: (1) the
B-389
seriousness of the SD hazard; (2) current methods to control the
hazard; and (3) the associated safety and risk management concerns.
This report contains the proceedings of the symposium. The symposium
was considered to be a success in raising the awareness of the impact
of SD on rotary-wing flying operations in the aeromedical and safety
communities of the services. It was clear that SD imposes a particular
hazard to rotary wing operations which differs in many respects to that
experienced by fixed wing operators. There was unanimous agreement that
initiatives to overcome the problem must be made. In order to maintain
the impetus established by the symposium and secure funding for the
various initiatives, the report contains a memorandum detailing the
important factors and makes recommendations for future activity in the
area. Work is required in education, training, research, and equipment
procurement. Control factors are discussed and recommendations made
according to whether the approach should be solely directed towards the
U.S. Army, or on a triservice basis.
