Spatial disorientation (SD) is considered to be present when a pilot fails to perceive the position, motion, or attitude of his/her aircraft with respect to the gravitational vertical or surrounding objects. The limitation of ground based training to raise the aviator's awareness of SD is widely acknowledged. A proposal was raised to develop SD scenarios for presentation in a visual flight simulator. The scenarios were developed using accident summaries from the U.S. Army Safety Center (USASC), Fort Rucker, Alabama, which were reviewed for suitable content. These were then presented as a series of scripts from which a trainer could reproduce the situation in a visual flight simulator. The resulting scenarios were presented to 30 experienced aviators who completed questionnaire evaluations after each scenario and an overall evaluation.
