Airsickness is a malady brought about by certain kinds of aerial maneuvers and is characterized by a number of signs and symptoms which include pallor, cold sweating, malaise, nausea and vomiting. Since an identical syndrome can be caused by other forms of motion, many authors prefer to use the more general term 'motion sickness'. Airsickness is a very common malady. The incidence has been reduced in the passenger population by the introduction of stable high flying aircraft, but it is still high amongst trainee pilots. In this handbook the author examines the problem in terms of loss of useful training time. Various methods of reducing this incidence are discussed as well as an approach to the management of flying personnel with airsickness.
