provides the ability to gain critical orientation information?. Answer:
Peripheral vision
◉The best way to spot low-contrast objects during the approach and
landing phase of flight is by using your:. Answer: central
◉1990-1999 SDO. Answer: 14% mishaps, 30% fatalities
◉2000-2009 SDO. Answer: 11% mishaps, 26% fatalities
◉has spatial disorientation related deaths decreased. Answer: no
◉how to combat disorientation. Answer: recoginze the scenarios
and react accordingly
◉type 1 SDO. Answer: unrecoginzed
,◉type 2 SDO. Answer: recognized
◉type 3 SDO. Answer: incapacititing. cant react. can happen in
sceonds
◉day vision. Answer: cones
◉night vision. Answer: rods

move
remedy: diamond pattern scan 15*
◉high vs steep appraoch. Answer: high: high on the glideslope
steep: coming in at to harsh of an angle

Answer: t
◉SDO typically happens when an aviator cannot visually confirm
orientation with what. Answer: the horizon
