Recommendation text
TO THE FEDERAL AVIATION ADMINISTRATION: Convene a multidisciplinary panel of aircraft performance, human factors, and aircraft operations specialists to evaluate spatial disorientation simulation technologies to determine which applications are most effective for training pilots to recognize the onset of spatial disorientation and successfully mitigate it, and make public a report on the committee’s findings.
In plain language (FlightFinder summary)
The Federal Aviation Administration is asked to convene a multidisciplinary panel of specialists in aircraft performance, human factors, and aircraft operations to evaluate spatial disorientation simulation technologies. The panel should determine which applications are most effective for training pilots to recognize and mitigate spatial disorientation. The FAA must then make the committee's findings public.
This plain-language summary is written by FlightFinder to explain the recommendation above. It is not the official wording — the verbatim NTSB text is quoted above.
