to airsickness than others. Fatigue, alcohol, drugs, medications, stress,
illnesses, anxiety, fear, and insecurity are some factors that can increase individual
susceptibility to motion sickness of any type. Women have been shown
to be more susceptible to motion sickness than men of any age. In addition,
reduced mental activity (low mental workload) during exposure to an unfamiliar
motion has been implicated as a predisposing factor for airsickness.
A pilot who concentrates on the mental tasks required to fly an aircraft will
be less likely to become airsick because his/ her attention is occupied. This
explains why sometimes a student pilot who is at the controls of an aircraft
does not get airsick, but the experienced instructor who is only monitoring
the student unexpectedly becomes airsick.
A pilot who has been the victim of airsickness knows how uncomfortable
and impairing it can be. Most importantly, it jeopardizes the pilot’s flying
proficiency and safety, particularly under conditions that require peak piloting
skills and performance (equipment malfunctions, instrument flight conditions,
bad weather, final approach, and landing).
Pilots who are susceptible to airsickness should not take anti-motion sickness
medications (prescription or overthe- counter). These medications can
make one drowsy or affect brain functions in other ways. Research has shown
that most anti-motion sickness medications cause a temporary deterioration
of navigational skills or other tasks demanding keen judgment.
An effective method to increase pilot resistance to airsickness consists of
repetitive exposure to the flying conditions that initially resulted in airsickness.
In other words, repeated exposure to the flight environment decreases
an individual’s susceptibility to subsequent airsickness.
If you become airsick while piloting an aircraft, open the air vents, loosen
your clothing, use supplemental oxygen, keep your eyes on a point outside
the aircraft, place your head against the seat’s headrest, and avoid unnecessary
head movements. Then, cancel the flight, and land as soon as possible.
FAA Aeromedical Training Programs for Civil Aviation Pilots
Physiological Training Course. The Civil Aerospace Medical Institute
offers a 1-day training course to familiarize civil aviation pilots and flight
crews with the physiological and psychological stressors of flight. Classroom
training subjects include spatial disorientation, oxygen equipment, hypoxia,
trapped gas, and decompression sickness.
Demonstrations. Spatial disorientation demonstrators provide pilots the
experience of vestibular and visual illusions in a safe, ground-based environment–
and they teach ways to avoid spatial disorientation while flying.
Also, a ground-based altitude chamber flight offers a practical demonstration
of rapid decompression and hypoxia. For information and scheduling, call
(405) 954-4837, or check the FAA Web site:
