Certain flight maneuvers, as when an aircraft is banking and turning, were simulated by a biaxial stimulator. Subjective responses for pilots were markedly different from nonpilots. A 'threatening' maneuver for the pilots was preferred as 'exciting' by the nonpilots. Significant differences were found between pilots and nonpilots in the rate of decay of nystagmus in response to two different simulated maneuvers. Such nystagmic differences are discussed with reference to their sensations. Results indicated that flying experience or flight training produced such differences. (Author)
