[466] HYPOXIA HANGOVER - FLIGHT PERFORMANCE AFTER NORMOBARIC HYPOXIA EXPOSURE AND EMERGENCY PROCEDURES IN HAWK SIMULATOR

摘要

INTRODUCTION: In 2015, U.S. Navy and U.S. Marine Corps reported altogether 115 hypoxia incident cases in their Goshawk, Hornet, and F-35 fleet related to On-Board Oxygen Generating System (OBOGS) malfunction, air contamination (e.g., CO toxication) or loss of cabin pressurization (ECS malfunction) resulting in hypoxia symptoms. In 2008, normobaric hypoxia training in a tactical Hawk simulator was developed in the Finnish Air Force. The training helps pilots to recognize their individual hypoxia symptoms and refresh hypoxia emergency procedures. It also provides an opportunity for the pilots to understand the effects of "hypoxia hangover" on their flight performance during return to base (RTB).
