Area of Science:

  • Aeronautical and Spatial Medicine
  • Ophthalmology
  • Human Sensory Systems

Context:

  • Piloting advanced aircraft and spacecraft demands optimal function of ocular, vestibular, and proprioceptive senses.
  • The selection and ongoing monitoring of flight crew necessitate thorough medical evaluations, focusing on sensory and visual capabilities.

Purpose:

  • To study, create, and enhance visual sensory exploration tests for flight crew medical supervision.
  • To develop validated visual tests based on fundamental and applied research for aeronautical applications.

Summary:

  • The study emphasizes the critical role of comprehensive sensory and visual assessments in the selection and monitoring of pilots for various aerial vehicles.
  • Validated visual tests, originally developed for military pilots, have been applied in ophthalmology to assess normal and deficient vision.
