These proceedings include the Technical Evaluation Report and 58 papers of the Symposium sponsored by the AGARD Aerospace Medical Panel held April 27th-1st May 1992. Since the commencement of aviation, accidents have occurred for a variety of reasons in both fixed- and rotary-wing aircraft. As the complexity of aviation systems increased, so did the task of investigating aircraft accidents. At the same time, advanced techniques in aviation and weapon systems have exacerbated greatly the physiological and cognitive demands on aircrews. The result is that aircraft accidents due to material causes have diminished progressively while the percentage of human factor-caused accidents has not. The papers address a variety of topics including: (a) human factor causes of accidents; (b) occupant injury investigation; (c) test devices for dynamic response; (d) fixed- and rotary-wing aircraft accident data; (e) spatial disorientation; (f) injury and accident prevention; (g) post crash fire, toxicology, and forensic pathology; (h) crew error prevention and (i) crew risk factors. These proceedings will be of interest to those involved in the investigation of aircraft accidents, their causes and the prevention thereof.
