CAMI is the medical certification, research, and education wing of the Federal Aviation Administration's Office of Aerospace Medicine at the Mike Monroney Aeronautical Center in Oklahoma City, Oklahoma. CAMI studies the factors that influence human performance in the aviation environment, finds ways to understand them, and then communicate that understanding to the aviation community. According to Dr. Melchor J. Antuņano, Director of CAMI, the FAA will use the GAT Helo to provide helicopter pilots train in the hazards associated with spatial disorientation during flight. FAA statistics show that when spatial disorientation is involved in a mishap, nine out of ten of those mishaps are fatal. The GAT Helo is equipped with eight helicopter specific Spatial Disorientation Illusions and a specialized Profile Editor, which gives operators the capability to develop other Spatial Disorientation illusions. The GAT-II® product line of fixed wing and helicopter trainers support Visual Flight Rating, Instrument Flight Rating, Spatial Disorientation, and Mishap Prevention training. The 3-axis motion platform and visual display responds to pilot input. Other features include selectable meteorological conditions, malfunctions flight & data logging and various map views of the flight area over the Continental United States, Canada, Mexico and the Caribbean. The National Aerospace Training And Research (NASTAR) Center provides aircrew and space flight physiology training and research support. NASTAR Center President, Dick Leland stated, "We are proud of our continuing relationship with FAA CAMI. To date, ETC has provided CAMI with two altitude chambers and three additional spatial disorientation trainers. We look forward to working with CAMI as they continue to promote aviation safety through human factors training." | |
