The purpose of the present study was to survey the occurrence of armpain in connection with high G-exposures during flight or centrifuge tests among Swedish fighter or test pilots. A questionnaire was sent to a group of 35 Swedish pilots, who had participated in centrifuge tests between 1990 and 1995 at Brooks Air Force Base. Eighteen respondents declared that they had experienced armpain during flight at one occasion or more. Fourteen claimed that it happended more than three times. The average stated G-stress for reported flight-related armpain was lower than the average G-stress-flight reported for centrifuge-related armpain. The most frequently mentioned plane type in connection with armpain was Gripen.
