This report documents the incidence and severity of airsickness experienced in 14 different fleet readiness squadrons (FRS) by 372 NFO students who flew a total of 8,325 hops during this phase of training. Treating this entire population as a single group, airsickness was reported to have occurred on 637 (7.65 percent) of the 8,325 hops, vomiting on 252 (3.03 percent) of the hops, and inflight performance degradation due to airsickness on 303 (3.64 percent) of the hops. Though these figures are lower than those reported previously for the primary and secondary phases of training, the FRS data showed significant variations according to the type-specific aircraft training pipeline followed by the students. Particularly noticeable were the high incidence rates occurring in the P-3 pipeline during FRS training. The report discusses probable causes for these pipeline variations based upon differences in the flight syllabi associated with each phase of training within a given pipeline. The report also relates student performance on the candidate motion reactivity tests to inflight airsickness performance during different phases of training.
