Korean Journal of Aerospace and Environmental Medicine 2008;18(3):78-87
To develop an aeromedical strategy to prevent aircraft accidents caused by spatial disorientation or loss of situational awareness, it is no wonder to say the first step may begin with understanding of operating principles of flight displays, especially attitude indicator. Therefore, this review article focused on explaining the unique aeromedical aspects of various types of attitude indicator. Also, the concept of newly developed attitude indicator was introduced to consider pros and cons of current design.

Headache may develop in flight passengers without underlying pathology even though this type of headache is not included in "The International Classification of Headache Disorders". We report on a case of headache which had developed during airplane landing. A rapid change in the ambient pressure may give rise to headache.

BACKGROUND: This paper presents the findings of a pilot research survey which assessed the degree of balance between safety and productivity, and its relationship with awareness and communication of human factors and safety rules in the aircraft manufacturing environment. METHODS: The study was carried out at two Australian aircraft manufacturing facilities where a Likert-scale questionnaire was administered to a representative sample. The research instrument included topics relevant to the safety and human factors training provided to the target workforce. The answers were processed in overall, and against demographic characteristics of the sample population. RESULTS: The workers were sufficiently aware of how human factors and safety rules influence their performance and acknowledged that supervisors had adequately communicated such topics. Safety and productivity seemed equally balanced across the sample. A preference for the former over the latter was associated with a higher awareness about human factors and safety rules, but not linked with safety communication. The size of the facility and the length and type of employment were occasionally correlated with responses to some communication and human factors topics and the equilibrium between productivity and safety. CONCLUSION: Although human factors training had been provided and sufficient bidirectional communication was present across the sample, it seems that quality and complexity factors might have influenced the effects of those safety related practices on the safety–productivity balance for specific parts of the population studied. Customization of safety training and communication to specific characteristics of employees may be necessary to achieve the desired outcomes.

PURPOSE: The Ministry of Health and Welfare of korea started operating the Helicopter Emergency Medical Service (HEMS) System in 2011 to improve emergency medical services given by physicians aboard helicopters. The purpose of this study was to evaluate the HEMS education program for its effectiveness and satisfaction from trainees. METHODS: A survey of trainees was conducted at the very end of training and education. Trainees for a HEMS crew surveyed included doctors (8), nurses (4), emergency medical technicians (12), pilots (10), flight dispatchers (4) and an administrator (1). The study period was from August 8, 2011 to August 12, 2011. The amount of HEMS education was 16 hours, including 8 hours of theoretical education, 5 hours of simulation and 3 hours of table-top simulation. RESULTS: In an analysis of programs according to trainee satisfaction, the theoretical training program received an average of 4.2+/-0.7 points and; the practical and simulation training program received; 4.4+/-0.8 points. The simulated practical training program thus received a higher score than theoretical education, but the difference was insignificant (p=0.834). CONCLUSION: For the HEMS training programs, the practical and simulation training satisfaction score were higher than the theoretical program. A focus on simulation programs for HEMS could therefore serve as a goal of the HEMS education program.
