Synopsis

Excerpt from Air Sickness: Its Nature and Treatment To a far greater extent than is generally realized, a successful future for aviation depends upon the mental aptitude and physical fitness of the personnel engaged in flying. Investigation has shown that many flying accidents are due to what may be called the human element. For this reason, it is imperative that special methods shall be employed in the selection and care of the airman. Not only must the candidate for aviation possess the necessary mental aptitude, but he must also have the potential ability to acquire the mechanics of flight. Furthermore, he must also be endowed with resistance to the fatigue, both bodily and mental, necessarily associated with learning to fly, with flights of long duration, and with flights at high altitudes. Given proper selection, the medical care of the flier is therefore largely preventive. It is the duty of medical officers to watch over their flying personnel, to see how pilots are withstanding the effects of flying, and to take proper steps to combat at an early stage the onset of flying stress, and to mitigate its effects. For this reason, periodic medical examination, as required by the International Aeronautical Convention, is a necessity.
