Sickness in a flight simulator can compromise training, and it can also give rise to effects that persist afterwards and create hazards for the trainee. Generally, simulator sickness involves more visual disturbances, more dizziness, and more aftereffects than in other kinds of motion sickness, and less gastrointestinal disturbance (although a few instances of frank vomiting have been reported, both in the simulator and after leaving it). Simulator sickness can interfere with, and discourage participation in, simulator training. Its aftereffects could cause accidents, and to avoid these accidents, the trainees are often grounded for a while after flying the simulators. Different incidences of simulator sickness, most between 10 and 60 pct., were found in different simulators and depend partly on the criteria for the sickness and on how the simulator is used. Procedures for minimizing the problem were developed.
