Spatial Disorientation
TRAINING PROGRAMS

Pilots have been susceptible to loss of situational awareness (SA) and spatial disorientation (SD) since the beginning of aviation. Nearly half of the all human factors mishaps are due to some form of loss of situation awareness.

Gain the experience and confidence needed to recognize critical human limits

The NASTAR Center's SA/SD course provides aviation professionals cognitive and psychomotor skill sets to recognize and recover from a loss of Situational Awareness or Spatial Disorientation. Using the NASTAR Center’s unique training simulators, aviators gain the experience and confidence needed to recognize critical human limits.
