Steven Conrad Martin

As an aviation safety expert and aerospace physiologist, Mr. Martin has been directly involved in the training of pilots and aircrew members for decades, personally instructing over 20,000 aviators. This author’s operational experience has included training military pilots in not only aerospace physiology subject matter but also practical aircraft ejection and ground egress procedures, parachuting, survival techniques, high-G centrifuge training, extreme high-altitude training, spatial disorientation training, night vision, enhanced vision systems training, and fighter pilot physical conditioning programs. Mr. Martin’s civilian aerospace physiology teaching experience has included flight physiology academics and practical high-altitude chamber training, as well as expertise in spatial disorientation, visual limitations and optimization, enhanced vision systems, and flight deck smoke and fumes training. Mr. Martin's main goal has been to ensure aircrew members and passengers alike receive the most accurate information possible, so everyone can enjoy flying to the fullest!

Mr. Martin’s education has included academic studies at the USAF School of Aerospace Medicine, the University of North Dakota, and the Community College of the Air Force. Mr. Martin has also authored Aerospace Physiology: Aeromedical and Human Factors for Pilots, which was the inspiration for this book.

Steven spends his leisure time enjoying time with his wife, Kim, his daughters, Jessie and Amanda, and his granddaughter, Madison. Steven also enjoys spending time with the family’s dogs and cats, as well as exercising, motorcycling, and gardening.
