    Identifying individuals prone to motion sickness is crucial for managing aircrew. This study found motion sickness common in navigation trainees, but current prediction methods were unreliable for identifying susceptible individuals.

    Area of Science:

    • Aerospace Medicine
    • Human Factors Engineering
    • Psychophysiology

    Background:

    • Motion sickness poses challenges for aviation personnel, particularly trainees.
    • Previous research focused mainly on pilot trainees for susceptibility identification.
    • Airsickness management is vital for effective flight training and operational readiness.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To prospectively evaluate airsickness incidence in Air Force navigation students.
    • To assess the reliability of psychological and self-report measures in predicting motion sickness susceptibility.
    • To identify potential methods for early detection of individuals prone to airsickness in aviation training.

    Main Methods:

    • Prospective evaluation of airsickness in Air Force navigation students.

  • Administration of Motion Sickness Questionnaires and Minnesota Multiphasic Personality Inventories.
  • Assessment of airsickness via questionnaires and flight surgeon evaluations.

    • Main Results:

    • Motion sickness was found to be prevalent among navigation trainees.
    • The methods employed (questionnaires, personality inventories) were not reliable predictors of airsickness susceptibility.
    • A significant portion of navigation students experienced motion sickness during training.

    Conclusions:

    • Motion sickness is a common issue in Air Force navigation students.
    • Current psychological and self-report methods are insufficient for reliably predicting airsickness susceptibility.
    • Further research utilizing physiological techniques is recommended for improved prediction of airsickness.
