The study of the seats of the pilot crew in the aircraft of the Aviation of the Army from Ecuador and the effects they cause on the human body due to the transmission of vibrations through the back, seat, and floor is described. Five transport aircraft are evaluated: CN-235, CASA 212, Aravá T-201, CESSNA 206, and Beechcraft King Air B-200, based on ISO 2631-1 (1997). The evaluation was carried out by taking measurements on the seats, backrests, and floor of the cockpit, using acceleration sensors Waspmote–Libelium, which allows the evaluation of frequencies until 50 Hz. In order to have greater certainty in the evaluation, the flights were divided into different phases according to the type of aircraft, considering as common: engine start, takeoff, free flight, descent, landing. The processed data is compared with the flight records, and the exposure level in the aircraft is determined. Human exposure is defined by two types of vibrations: whole-body vibration and local vibrations; they are associated with complications in the occupational health of specific machinery operators. Aircraft pilot’s reports indicate that exposure to vibrations triggers changes in health, well-being, and professional performance. The incidence of vibrations in the human body is examined as an overview of the problem, along with the review of related documents, which are discussed in order to determine the possible consequences of exposure and present recommendations for handling the issue.
