A one-of-a-kind lifesaving course on flight physiology for helicopter operators will be offered at this year’s Heli-Expo from March 6 to 9, in Dallas, Texas. The course, taught by one of the industry’s leading subject matter experts, Dr. Dudley Crosson, will focus on the latest research and developments on some old, some not-so-old, and in many cases, very misunderstood topics that have led to numerous helicopter accidents and pilot’s deaths.
Subjects include the deadly side effects of fatigue and sleep deprivation, the dangerous and negative impact of energy drinks on flight crews, how stress can destroy a pilot’s decision making process, and finally the inner-workings and physiology behind spatial disorientation.
