Aeromedical Factors

This video describes many of the aeromedical factors that pilots should consider before taking off. These include: hypoxia, hyperventilation, middle ear and sinus problems, spatial disorientation, motion sickness, carbon monoxide poisoning, stress and fatigue, and dehydration. We also cover the effects of alcohol, drugs, and over-the-counter medications, as well as the effects of excess nitrogen during scuba dives upon a pilot or passenger in flight.
