Simulator sickness affects many aircrew during flight simulator training. Greater flying experience and a history of sea sickness may increase susceptibility, but adaptation occurs over time.

Area of Science:

Aviation Psychology
Human Factors Engineering
Occupational Health

Background:

Simulator sickness, distinct from motion sickness, arises from flight simulator environments.
This study investigates the incidence and influencing factors of simulator sickness in army aviation training.

Observation:

A questionnaire study involved 115 aircrew, collecting data via history, post-sortie, and delayed reports.
69% reported prior simulator symptoms; 59.9% experienced symptoms during the study, mostly mild.
Only 3.6% reported disequilibrium symptoms.

Findings:

Simulator sickness showed an association with greater flying experience and adaptation to the simulator.
A history of sea sickness may predict susceptibility to simulator sickness.

No association was found between crew role and simulator sickness incidence.

Implications:

While simulator sickness is a potential flight safety concern, this study found little evidence of a significant hazard.
Identified factors allow for preventative guidelines; grounding aircrew post-training is generally unnecessary.
Individual assessment is recommended for severe cases of simulator sickness.
