项目摘要

DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): This proposal is a direct response to a stated need for a system to " ....educate and alert aviators during their flight training and medical examinations, with real-life examples of the adverse effects of antihistamines (and over-the-counter-drugs) and associated unwanted serious outcomes." This requirement, specified in the aviation medicine literature, recognizes that over-the-counter drug (OTCD) abuse plays a significant role in serious (fatal) aircraft accidents in all three major aviation sectors: general, commercial and military. At present, effects of OTCD on piloting skills are paid little attention in typical flight training programs. However, there is ample evidence that pilot training is most effectively done by having student pilots actually experience the flight conditions and requirements they must learn. Further, the Federal Aviation Administration has, for several years, certified the use of various types of flight simulators for training purposes. These flight simulators have been used very effectively, and are particularly useful in providing student pilots with experiences which might be unduly dangerous to attempt in actual flight conditions. This project is intended to lead to development of an OTCD training program, FlyFit!, which can augment existing flight simulators and mimic the consequences of flight under the effects of varying degrees of OTCD abuse. This will be done by performing a series of controlled experiments using prescribed flight protocols on a flight simulator without OTCD use (control) and with OTCD and placebo consumption (test groups). Deviations from the control conditions will be determined and implemented in the FlyFit! program, which can then be used to teach pilots the likely effects of flight under the influence of OTCD. PUBLIC HEALTH RELEVANCE: The Federal Aviation Administration has recognized that over-the-counter-drugs (OTCD) pose a significant health threat in serious (fatal) aircraft accidents in all major aviation sectors. Pilot training in this area is clearly inadequate, and is best addressed by hands- on learning experience. The proposed product development will lead to FlyFit!, an OTCD training program, augmenting existing flight simulator training programs to mimic or demonstrate piloting while affected by OTCD.

描述（由申请人提供）：该提案是对系统需求的直接回应，该系统“……在飞行训练和体检期间对飞行员进行教育和警报，并提供抗组胺药不利影响的现实例子（和非处方药）以及相关的不良严重后果。”航空医学文献中明确规定的这一要求承认，非处方药 (OTCD) 滥用在所有三个主要航空部门（通用航空、商业航空和军用航空）的严重（致命）飞机事故中发挥着重要作用。目前，在典型的飞行训练项目中，OTCD对飞行员技能的影响很少受到关注。然而，有充分的证据表明，飞行员培训最有效的方法是让飞行学员实际体验他们必须学习的飞行条件和要求。此外，美国联邦航空管理局多年来一直对各种类型的飞行模拟器用于培训目的进行了认证。这些飞行模拟器得到了非常有效的使用，并且在为飞行学员提供在实际飞行条件下尝试可能过于危险的经验方面特别有用。该项目旨在开发 OTCD 培训计划 FlyFit！，该计划可以增强现有的飞行模拟器并模拟不同程度的 OTCD 滥用影响下的飞行后果。这将通过在不使用 OTCD（对照组）以及使用 OTCD 和安慰剂消耗（测试组）的飞行模拟器上使用规定的飞行协议进行一系列受控实验来完成。与控制条件的偏差将在 FlyFit 中确定并实施！程序，然后可用于向飞行员传授在 OTCD 影响下飞行可能产生的影响。公共健康相关性：美国联邦航空管理局已认识到非处方药 (OTCD) 对所有主要航空部门的严重（致命）飞机事故构成重大健康威胁。这方面的飞行员培训显然是不够的，最好通过实践学习经验来解决。拟议的产品开发将导致 FlyFit！，一个 OTCD 培训计划，增强现有的飞行模拟器培训计划，以模拟或演示受 OTCD 影响的驾驶。
