Human bodies perform much differently in the air than on the ground. Pilots must understand how changes in altitude, reduced atmospheric pressure, and difference in sensory perception can affect their ability to think clearly and maintain effective control of their aircraft. Aviation Physiology presents proven techniques for dealing with the challenge of working in the flight environment. This DVD provides worthwhile, practical information you can use, uncluding: how vision works and the limitation of the human eye; how to increase the effectiveness of your night vision; how organs of balance and motion are tricked into sending false information; causes of oxygen deficiency; how to cope with spatial disorientation; physiological effects of altitude; the effects of hypoxia and hyperventilation; common sensory illusions and how to avoid them; medication and flying.

Vision in flight -- Spatial disorientation -- Respiration and altitude -- Alcohol, drugs, and performance.
