Ocular Torsion During Flight

Pensacola, FL

During flight maneuvers, the pilot’s head attempts to maintain alignment with the visual horizon. This optokinetic cervical reflex (OKCR) is thought to improve spatial awareness by establishing the horizon as a stabilized, primary visual reference. The interactions between the OKCR and natural ocular reflexes during flight are completely unknown.
