Abstract:
Objective To analyze and discuss the status of fighter pilots' centrifuge training,to investigate the pilots' G tolerance and to provide reference for training program improvement.Methods One thousand and one hundred ninety-nine fighter pilots' human centrifuge training data were collected and analyzed by cross-sectional study.Pilots were classified by the training purposes that were for aeromedical qualification and competitive assessment.The up-to-standard rates were compared upon the analysis of pilots' training performance.Results In 877 pilots for aeromedical qualification,594 completed the runs of 8 G for 10 s,106 completed 9 G for 10 s.The qualification rate was 79.1％.In 180 high performance fighter pilots selected for competitive assessment,141 completed the runs of 9 G for 10 s.The qualification rate was 78.3％.In 142 second generation fighter pilots selected for competitive assessment,140 completed the runs of 7 G for 10 s.The qualification rate was 98.6％ which was significantly greater than that of the pilots for aeromedical qualification (x 2 =31.141,P ＜ 0.01) and high performance fighter pilots selected for competitive assessment (x 2 =29.318,P＜0.01).There was no difference on qualification rate between the latter two groups (x2 =0.058,P ＞0.05).The incidence of G-LOC and A-LOC was 5.0％ and 2.7％ respectively.The incidences of G-LOC (x2 =4.983,P＜0.05) and A-LOC (x2 =7.528,P＜0.05) of the pilots selected for competitive assessment were significantly greater than those of the pilots for aeromedical qualification.In 1 199 pilots,only 2 pilots (0.17％) had severe acute lumbar sprain.Conclusions Advanced anti-G methods have been adopted in our centrifuge training.The incidences of G-LOC and spinal injury induced by centrifuge training are low.The training program still needs further development and the training effectiveness should be improved.
