Spatial disorientation is defined as the inability of a pilot to correctly interpret aircraft attitude, altitude or airspeed in relation to the Earth or other points of reference. Spatial disorientation, if not corrected, can lead to both loss of control and controlled flight into terrain. The possibility of becoming spatially disorientated is hard-wired into all humans.

Spatial disorientation is defined as an erroneous body orientation perceived by pilots during flights. Limits of the vestibular system provoke frequent spatial disorientation mishaps. Although vestibular spatial disorientation is experienced frequently in aviation, there is no intuitive countermeasure against spatial disorientation mishaps to date.

Spatial disorientation (SD) remains a serious drain on USAF resources and personnel. SD is the single most common cause of human-related aircraft accidents. Spatial orientation training techniques are included. Finally, the USAF's Spatial Disorientation Countermeasures Program, designed to reduce the number of SD mishaps, is also presented.

two modes CONDITIONS FOR SPATIAL DISORIENTATION The most predisposing condition for spatial disorientation is hovering at night with a lack of visual cues. common form of Spatial Disorientation Motion is usually undetected during a subthreshold maneuver (less than 2o) Pilot corrects attitude and compensates for the false sensation of turning in the opposite direction This illusion seldom affects both pilots at the same time CORIOLIS ILLUSION  Pilot enters a turn stimulating one semicircular canal  Pilot makes a head movement in a different geometrical plane stimulating.
