I am honored to have been invited to give the keynote address to this symposium on spatial disorientation. Spatial disorientation (S.D.) is not a new problem in aviation and over the last 50 years it has been addressed on numerous occasions within the NATO community. Yet despite the increased understanding of the varied aetiology of S.D. and improvement in the display of information to the pilot to facilitate correct spatial orientation (5.0.), accidents, primarily attributable to S.D., continue to occur. Indeed, in the last decade the proportion of human error accidents in which S.D. was considered to be a primary or contributory cause of the mishaps has increased. This would appear to be due, at least in part, to the introduction of new technology, in particular night vision goggles, that has allowed flight operations in environmental conditions which previously were not possible. In the presentations to follow there will be descriptions of new technologies and training techniques that should aid the maintenance of spatial orientation (8.0.) in flight and reduce the frequency of S.D. incidents and orientation error accidents. But these benefits are likely to be tempered by new challenges arising from flight in high performance agile aircraft and unattended aerial vehicles - UAVs. The human factors and aeromedical community also need to be cognizant of S.D. in virtual reality environments as well as in those piloting UAVs.

Vision is the dominant sense used by pilots and visual misperception has been identified as the primary contributing factor in numerous aviation mishaps, resulting in hundreds of fatalities and major resource loss. Despite physiological limitations for sensing and perceiving their aviation environment, pilots can often make the required visual judgments with a high degree of accuracy and precision. At the same time, however, visual illusions and misjudgments have been cited as the probable cause of numerous aviation accidents, and in spite of technological and instructional efforts to remedy some of the problems associated with visual perception in aviation, mishaps of this type continue to occur. Clearly, understanding the role of visual perception in aviation is key to improving pilot performance and reducing aviation mishaps. This book is the first dedicated to the role of visual perception in aviation, and it provides a comprehensive, single-source document encompassing all aspects of aviation visual perception. Thus, this book includes the foundations of visual and vestibular sensation and perception; how visual perceptual abilities are assessed in pilots; the pilot's perspective of visual flying; a summary of human factors research on the visual guidance of flying; examples of specific visual and vestibular illusions and misperceptions; mishap analyses from military, commercial and general aviation; and, finally, how this knowledge is being used to better understand visual perception in aviation's next generation. Aviation Visual Perception: Research, Misperception and Mishaps is intended to be used for instruction in academia, as a resource for human factors researchers, design engineers, and for instruction and training in the pilot community.

Scholars remain locked in a battle over the relative importance of heredity and environment for such diverse matters as human intelligence, female institution, and racial stratification. The present collection is an attempt to contribute to the quality of this discussion, and focuses not only on the matter of relative weights, but the matter of interaction. Most of the contributions deal with the quality and character of the connection between the two. Four essays focus upon what is now known about this friendship in several areas of practical and theoretical significance. The authors reach beyond the caveat that both are important and indicate how and why there is a relationship of some complexity.
