This report is the sixth in a series dealing with a longitudinal study of airsickness in the Basic, Advanced, and Fleet Readiness Squadrons comprising the Naval Flight Officer Training Program. Flight data are presented on a second group of VT86-RIO students receiving secondary training under a new flight syllabus. Of the 106 students included in the study, approximately 72 percent reported being airsick on one or more flights, 46 percent reported vomiting on one or more flights, and 43 percent considered their flight performance to have been degraded by airsickness on one or more hops. Of the 2,072 hops flown by th students, airsickness, vomiting, and performance degradation were reported to have occurred on 18.1, 8.8, and 6.9 percent, respectively, of the flights. The report details the flight data by hops and by students and also relates the airsickness performance of the student group to performance on a selected battery of motion reactivity tests administered to a large segment of the squadron population prior to beginning flight training.
