Although sustained high acceleration or vibration have deleterious effect on pilot's tracking ability, there are situations in which motion cues as felt in flight or moving-base simulation, yield improvement in pilot performance; first situation occurs in control task requiring more lead compensation than is developed from visual displays; vestibular and tactile sensations contribute velocity and acceleration information, used in stabilization; experiments on control of inverted pendulums and VTOL'S with and without motion cues are discussed; tests of labyrinthine defective patients showed critical importance of vestibular inputs; second situation required rapid adaptation to controlled element failures in simulated blind landing experiment.
