abstract="Researchers examined the psychological aspects of pilot spatial orientation to aircraft attitude. Study participants completed questionnaires and made drawings of view-from-the-ground and aircraft front window and of attitude indicators, then made flights in a simulator or aircraft with unknown pitch attitude. Analysis of data indicates that pilots favored a view-from-the-ground indicator. The main drawback to the view-from-the-aircraft indicator was mobility of image. The study also examined spatial-orientation techniques pilots use in different flight phases and identified seven factors in effective spatial-orientation techniques. Other components of the study included a comparison of the manipulative capability of pilots and nonprofessional participants and pilot recall of a set of images from long-term and operational memory.<p /> <p>Language: en</p>",
