Aeromedical Consideration of Designing Attitude Indicator for Preventing Spatial Disorientation

• Hwang SH

Abstract

To develop an aeromedical strategy to prevent aircraft accidents caused by spatial disorientation or loss of situational awareness, it is no wonder to say the first step may begin with understanding of operating principles of flight displays, especially attitude indicator. Therefore, this review article focused on explaining the unique aeromedical aspects of various types of attitude indicator. Also, the concept of newly developed attitude indicator was introduced to consider pros and cons of current design.
