All too often, pilots tell me they don't need physiological training because they don't fly that high. The statement points out the general feelings of a large majority of the aviation population. I suppose then the burning question is why do we still have aircraft accidents? • The answer to this question seems to have already been given. According to an official 1991 FAA report, Civilian Training in High-Altitude Flight Physiology, Some National Transportation Safety Board staff members have expressed a concern that high-altitude flight physiology training for civilian flight personnel should receive greater emphasis than it currently does. The report goes on to say, When pilots combine their private flying skills with their business transportation needs and use their aircraft to meet those needs, it is inevitable that in order to meet a schedule, arrive at a destination, or get home after a meeting, the urge to complete a mission will lead the pilot into a physiologically-unsafe altitude or into conditions for which there has been insufficient training or experience. • Now that I have my soap box dusted off, I may as well use it. In my opinion, there exists a huge requirement for initial training in high-altitude physiology for all civilian pilots (including general aviation pilots intending to fly above 10,000 feet daytime and 5,000 feet a night). This training is extremely important due to the large number of general aviation pilots who are unaware of the physiological problems that can affect their safety during flight. The training will familiarize pilots with the physiological aspects of high altitude flight, including discussions on physics of the atmosphere, respiration and circulation, hypoxia, hyperventilation, human factors, self-imposed stresses, trapped and evolved gas problems, aircraft decompressions, and oxygen equipment. The training will give pilots an opportunity to experience their personal signs and symptoms of hypoxia in an altitude chamber. Hypoxia is just one of the physiological problems that can impair pilots if they are not aware of the effects of decreased oxygen pressure at altitude. • Hypoxia, by definition, is the lack of sufficient oxygen in the blood, tissues, and/or cells to maintain normal physiological function. Many different factors can cause this state of oxygen deficiency. Breathing air at reduced barometric pressure, malfunctioning oxygen equipment at altitude, drowning, pneumonia, extremes of environmental temperatures, and carbon monoxide are just a few of the causes of oxygen deficiency in the body that results in hypoxia. The most common causes of hypoxia in aviation are: flying, non-pressurized aircraft above 10,000 ft without supplemental oxygen, rapid decompression during flight, pressurization system malfunction, or oxygen system malfunction. • Hypoxia is actually divided into four types: hypoxic hypoxia, hypemic hypoxia, stagnant hypoxia, and histotoxic hypoxia. No matter what the cause or type of hypoxia you experience, the symptoms and effects on your flying skills are basically the same. One factor that makes hypoxia dangerous is its insidious onset; your signs and symptoms may develop so gradually that they are well established before you recognize them. Hypoxia is painless, and the signs and symptoms vary from person to person. To better understand the effects of hypoxia, I will explain each, as well as whether it is the respiratory or circulatory system that is being affected. • #aviation#pilottrainning#hypoxia
