Spatial Orientation
Defines our natural ability to maintain our body orientation and/or posture
in relation to the surrounding environment (physical space) at rest and
during motion. Genetically speaking, humans are designed to maintain spatial
orientation on the ground. The three-dimensional environment of flight
is unfamiliar to the human body, creating sensory conflicts and illusions that
make spatial orientation difficult, and sometimes impossible to achieve. Statistics show that between 5 to 10% of all general aviation accidents can be
attributed to spatial disorientation, 90% of which are fatal.
