Altitude Chamber

Altitude Chamber

Our altitude chamber is used for both aviator training and research. Capable of altitudes in excess of 80,000 feet, it is used to teach flight crews the physiological effects of high-altitude flight in a safe training environment. Subjects presented in our Aerospace Physiology courses include:

  • hypoxia
  • hyperventilation
  • trapped gas disorders
  • evolved gas problems
  • oxygen equipment care and use
  • cabin pressurization
  • decompression issues
  • fatigue
  • stress
  • visual and spatial disorientation

Spatial Disorientation Simulator

Spatial Disorientation Trainer

The physiology department uses a GAT-II General Aviation Trainer for spatial disorientation training. This full-motion simulator duplicates the sensations a pilot would feel during various flight maneuvers. The GAT-II features an enclosed cockpit, realistic flight controls, and simulated out-the-window visual display to provide a highly-realistic training environment. The 3-axes motion system, precisely coordinated with the visual display and flight control inputs, allows the GAT-II to simulate a wide variety of spatial and visual illusions.
