AER 2330 - Aviation Physiology & Psychology
3 cr
Pilots have unique mental and physical demands that are critical for their safety-sensitive roles in ensuring safety and passenger comfort. This course focuses on the need for awareness and understanding of these demands as well as the responsibility to ensure compliance from both a regulatory and ethical standpoint. The physiological component focuses on general health with emphasis on altitude physiology, vision, hearing, medications, and fitness. The psychological component emphasizes aeronautical decision-making (ADM), risk management, sleep, and fatigue. Both are integrated into a discussion of the FAA medical certification process and pilot duties and responsibilities of compliance. The student is required to select two aviation accidents or incidents and lead class discussions that applies these concepts to specific actual events.
