• Abstract:
  Eleven male subjects were given flight training according to a conventional but rigidly standardized private pilot syllabus. On half of the dual flights chloridazepoxide was given; identical-appearing placebo capsules were given on the remaining dual flights. No treatment was given on solo flights. Differences could not be distinguished between tranquilizer and placebo with respect to the urinary excretion of catecholamines and 17-OH corticosteroids and heart rates recorded continuously in flight
