US Navy can not identify the causes of dizziness arising from pilots F / A-18

79
Specialists of the US Navy can not determine the causes of dizziness arising from the pilots during the piloting of deck F / A-18, reports RIA News Post Military.com.



This problem exists with 2009. Pilots repeatedly had to land planes when they began to show signs of oxygen starvation.

The resource, citing data from the Pentagon, notes that "100-20 cases of dizziness occur in 30 thousands of flight hours." As Rear Admiral Manazir stated at the congressional hearings, "even one case is unacceptable because it can lead to the loss of an aircraft."

“These conditions disorient the pilots, the lack of oxygen can lead to a drop in productivity,” writes the publication. In this case, the experts even developed a special procedure.

“We could not identify them (problems), we are chasing ghosts. The problem cannot be identified because the available monitoring tools are not on board the aircraft and cannot establish whether this is due to the fact that there is more oxygen than necessary, or less than necessary, or the presence of carbon monoxide or poisonous gas, ”the admiral said .

According to him, "it is necessary to completely replace the oxygen monitoring system," but the funds "will be allocated only after testing the new system in 2017 year."

“The Navy is training pilots, artificially creating a lack of oxygen so that the pilots are familiar with the symptoms, can recognize them in the future and use the emergency oxygen supply system. However, the emergency reserve will be enough for a maximum of 20 minutes, and the pilot may not have enough time to return to the ship, ”the article says.

      It is necessary to drive the pilots themselves in a centrifuge, maybe this vestibular apparatus can not cope. Check how they withstand the load. Still, a dive is not a pound of raisins, there is probably an overload of 7-8g. And what kind of cabin is there? Sealed or what? Oxygen equipment and air sensors. On the Raptor, the same problem, only with climb above 6900 meters associated. There, kapets, the pilot has nothing to breathe.

      In general, there are few cases of such a raid. Interestingly, they tried to compare such cases with tasks to intercept our strategists? Maybe the guys were just so intimidated that at the sight of our strategist they had an overdose of adrenaline? So there is not enough oxygen in the tanks for such intense work of exceptional super-warriors.

    It’s time to turn to Russia for flight rations, and how can our pilots pour 100 grams of People’s Commissars and warn them if they don’t learn the name "People's Commissars" will not be poured. They have problems with both equipment and personnel, everyone is already tired of fooling around in a circle.

    Maybe because eat deliciously and sleep sweetlyinstead of training?

    The mechanisms of adaptation to moderate periodic hypoxia have long been well known.

    The Navy conducts pilot training, artificially creating a lack of oxygen, so that pilots are familiar with the symptoms, can recognize them in the future and use the emergency oxygen supply system. However, the emergency reserve will last a maximum of 20 minutes, and the pilot may not have enough time to return to the ship


    If hypoxia is moderate and the body is adapted, then an emergency system will not be needed. If hypoxia is acute, then no additional feed will help; not dizziness will be, but instant swoon.

    Just something indescribable. To solve this great problem, you need one engineer and a couple of thousand dollars for components. You can literally glue the atmosphere composition sensor in the cockpit with memory for the entire flight with your left foot. All solutions are there. All the blocks, ready, just take it. It is necessary to collect them and test them all.
    That is, there was a problem. Solving it is worthless. But if you wait until it ripens, and it’s better to kill several people, then apparently a billion or two can be attributed to the decision. But what about the pilots? And what about the pilots? Even now they are dying for corporate profits, so no difference.

    The problem is not new. About 30 years ago, there was an article of similar content in the "Military Foreigner". After serious examinations of the pilots, it was found that some of the pilots had an "imperfect neocortex", i.e. they had too much for such work of pathological cells of the cerebral cortex.
    Not every one is suitable for flights, even if all the tests passed successfully.

    Yes, this is nonsense. The plane lands on the deck. When you hit it, a micro-concussion occurs. Doctors will probably say something more specific. Then braking the plane with the pilot. Slowing down with an acceleration of 4 ji or more, again everything presses on the brain. And so every flight day. And then talk about a lack of oxygen ??? Well this is above the roof. Then a normal brow will actually blow the roof. And the trained one, like a pilot, will certainly not take down the roof, but the brain will not work normally.
