Air pilots - Open Access .click

Acta Oto-Laryngologica, 2007
Having found a prevalence rate of alternobaric vertigo in Portuguese Air Force pilots that is somewhat higher than previously reported, we underline the importance of implementing education on the management of this condition as part of routine Air Force pilot training programs.Alternobaric vertigo is a condition in which transient vertigo with spatial

Anthropometry of Brazilian Air Force pilots

Ergonomics, 2017
Anthropometric data are essential for the design of military equipment including sizing of aircraft cockpits and personal gear. Currently, there are no anthropometric databases specific to Brazilian military personnel. The aim of this study was to create a Brazilian anthropometric database of Air Force pilots.

Influence of air cooling units on air quality – A pilot project

International Journal of Hygiene and Environmental Health, 2008
Air cooling units are said to pose a health risk to humans because of residual water and biological contamination. We measured particles 0.5 and 5 microm, ultrafine particles and bacterial counts near the outlet of 38 air cooling units and at the corresponding workplaces. Control measurements were performed in 17 rooms without air cooling units.

Pilot-Optimal Augmentation for the Air-to-Air Tracking Task

Journal of Guidance and Control, 1979
A method based on optimal control techniques, closed-loop task-oriented design objectives, and an optimal control model of the human pilot was applied to augment the system dynamics in a longitudinal air-to-air tracking task. The plant dynamics included not only the vehicle short-period mode but the dynamics of two different lead-computing sight ...
