Your Safety and Trusting your Equipment
Spatial disorientation
A pilot suffering from spatial disorientation is unable to correctly interpret the aircraft’s speed, altitude or attitude. In a case such as this it is extremely important for the pilot to have full trust in their equipment and have reliable equipment on their aircraft. Something as simple as knowing which way is up and which way is down is a side effect of spatial disorientation, not having reliable aircraft equipment can lead to fatal mistakes.
Spatial disorientation is one of the leading reasons of airplane crashes, one of the latest being the fatal crash of a Japanese F-35A Jet. A few other notable mentions are Flight 604 of Flash Airlines, Ethiopian Airlines’ flight 409 and the famous probable spatial disorientation crashes being John F. Kennedy Jr’s crash.
If Pilots used aircraft equipment they could trust and believed in a lot of these crashes could have been avoided.
Auto GCAS
Automatic Ground Collision Avoidance System otherwise known as Auto GCAS is software system that is installed in aircrafts that prevent the aircraft from crashing into the ground. It pulls the aircraft back up if it detects a dramatic decent. Auto GCAS software are particularly useful in case of the above mentioned spatial disorientation.
