Abstract:

Reactions from 1,161 trainees out of 12,759 trainees subjected to the FAA altitude chamber training flights from 1965-1989 are annotated in this survey. Although there were some mild and expected reactions, these training profiles appear to provide a safe learning environment without compromising the student's health and safety. Inside chamber instructors did not fare as well, perhaps due to age and cumulative number of exposures, and recommendations are suggested for improved safeguards.
