DEVICE 9B6 - Multistation Disorientation Demonstrator

Device 9B6 provides disorientation familiarization training for student pilots, student flight officers, student flight surgeons, aviation psychologists, and physiologists. This training augments classroom lectures by enabling students to experience spatial disorientation errors caused by the loss of reliable points of reference, conflicting sensory cues, and elevated inertial forces. It also allows the student to see that spatial disorientation is a normal response to a variety of conditions. The instructor/operator monitor's the student's response to these conditions through verbal communication and student-operated controls.
