Flight Safety Australia - Spatial Disorientation

Flight Safety Australia studied the effects of spatial disorientation on the human body and was fortunate enough to have QF32 Captain Richard de Crespingy take the Barany chair test, helping illustrate that every pilot is susceptible to the condition. Read the full article at www.flightsafet...

de Crespigny is one of Australia's best commercial pilots. If it can happen to him, it can happen to anyone.

@thefermiparadox is there a chance the instruments did not work anymore and so the pilot got wrong or no proper information?

[@squadric7722]

What can pilots eat before stepping onboard the plane?

[@DoctorDARKSIDE]

+Megalodon64 in my case I prefer not to eat shortly before sitting at the controls - unless it's a snack bar, a fruit or something very light to settle some hunger before the flight, going for a full meal is in my opinion a risk. Discovering that food poisoning and/or digestion-related pain is on its way while in flight is a chance I prefer not to take!

There is a simple solution to finding actual orientation at a glance. Relying on electronic information is not trustworthy in situations where there is no outside reference source.

[@simonjamesd1010]

I thought the view was when in IMC trust your instruments, in VMC trust the window?

Air France 447 pilots got this
